I design system-level models for high-speed signal chains, using modeling and DSP to drive architectural decisions and define robust algorithms. My approach is to build models that describe system behavior, explore trade-offs, guide design choices, and evaluate performance before silicon. I develop mathematical, bit-true and cycle-accurate models, and drive their correlation with silicon measurements to ensure they accurately capture real system behavior. Through modeling and analysis, I contribute to improving alignment between architecture, simulations, and silicon behavior — catching inconsistencies early before they become costly. I apply DSP techniques, including adaptive filtering, to understand system limitations and improve robustness in complex mixed-signal environments. I work closely with both analog and digital design teams, using system-level insight to provide feedback on design choices and support architecture and implementation decisions. I am particularly interested in roles focused on system architecture and signal chain design, where modeling and algorithms are used to guide design and enable high-performance systems.
I am part of the R&D group developing high speed serial-link transceivers. 1) Built the bit-true model of the entire RX n MATLAB, establishing in this way a system-level reference for architecture validation and DSP algorithm development 2) Driving RTL specification definition, translating system-level requirements into implementable digital constraints 3) Contributing to analog front-end design decisions, providing system-level feedback to guide implementation trade-offs 4) Led sim-to-silicon correlation, transitioning from analytical techniques to time-domain simulation — identifying and resolving discrepancies between modeled and measured behavior 5) Performing system-level simulations to evaluate design performance across multiple protocols and channels 6) Assisting customers with system-level performance and algorithmic support
I have been part of the R&D group developing high speed serial-link transceivers. During this experience I was involvend in the System Level Design and Simulations of a Transceiver for Optical Direct-Detection Applications f(DR4 and SR4 standards).

inphi Corp. has been acquired by Marvell Tech. in January 2021 I have been part of the R&D group developing high speed serial-link transceivers and, more specifically, part of the System and Architecture team responsible for creating the physical layer transceiver architecture, to specify link budgets and block level specifications for all the SerDes IP components. I have been working closely with analog, digital and DSP design teams to ensure that system requirements were suitable for efficient implementation and that implemented solutions were actually meeting the given specifications.
During this activity I have been working about mathematical modelling and scientific computing of microwave systems. My interest was focused on Meshless Method, Variational Formulation, FEM, and BI-RME method. There are various techniques to simulate the electromagnetic structures. The aim of my work has been to explore the meshless method that seems to be less time and memory consuming compared with the most traditional ones like FEM. All these properties are useful for the microwave devices and systems design and real time simulations for industrial and telecommunication applications. I've been working with 2D, and 3D homogeneous and inhomogeneous structures obtaining encouraging results. See also the list of Pubblications and Conferences
