Curriculum vitae

Daniele Cesini is working as a Researcher in Technology at the Italian Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN). He is currently the coordinator of a Tier1 datacenter supporting  the experiments of the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. Since 2004, he acquired experience working within national and international initiatives dealing with distributed and parallel computing. During the EGEE projects series he worked for the Italian Grid Infrastructure fulfilling managerial roles in Operations and User Support activities. For the EGI-Inspire project, he coordinated the Work Package dealing with the development of the EGI Operational tools. He focused his research in the field of efficient tasks scheduling in distributed environments for mixed High Performance/High Throughput Computing workflows. He is expert in the application porting to different computing platforms: distributed architectures, low power processors and HPC hybrid systems. He is contributing to various tasks in the ExaNeST project to build the storage system of an Exascale prototype machine. From 2014 to 2018 he  coordinated the INFN COSA (COmputing-on-SoC-Architectures) project evaluating SoCs, low power processors and novel hardware architectures for scientific computing.  He is currently the project coordinator of the H2020 eXtreme-DataCloud project (XDC - http://www.extreme-datacloud.eu/) dealing with the development of data management services for extremely large datasets in heterogeneous and distributed e-infrastructures.
