I'm a Research Fellow at Sapienza University of Rome in the Department of Computer, Control and Management Engineering.
My primary research interests are focused on fault-tolerant static and dynamic distributed systems, with particular emphasis on Byzantine fault tolerance (i.e., the resilience against arbitrary misbehavior, even malicious). More in detail, I’ve been investigating reliable information diffusion problems, such as communication and broadcast, in contexts affected by arbitrary failures, where the aim is to guarantee the reliable exchange of information or an eventual consistent shared state among processes despite the potential compromise of part of the peers in the system. I’m currently expanding my attention to several related fields: (a) the modeling of dynamic distributed systems and the solving of some fundamental problems in the field; (b) the modeling of attacks affecting distributed peer systems; (c) the dependability and performance evaluations of distributed systems.
