[2023 - Present] Ph.D. Student in Computer Engineering
My research focuses on the design and automation of distributed IoT and edge computing systems through platform engineering approaches, with a strong emphasis on industrial applications. My main interests include resource orchestration across the cloud continuum, the integration of Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) for deterministic communication, and the use of AI-based perception modules for real-time processing and decision-making at the edge.
In parallel, I work on embedded security in the automotive domain, developing secure mechanisms and architectures to enable reliable over-the-air (OTA) firmware updates and trusted communication between edge and in-vehicle systems.
[2022 - 2023] Master’s Thesis Project at Northvolt AB – Stockholm, Sweden
Implementation of a REST-HTTP–based protocol for data synchronization from the cloud to factory machines. From the requirements analysis, the main communication models and commercial solutions offered by AWS were evaluated and compared with the proposed approach.
