I am a post-doc at INRIA Rhone-Alpes in Lyon (France) where I am a member of the Laboratoire de l'Informatique du Parallelisme (LIP). I am currently working at the MUltifrontal Massively Parallel sparse direct Solver (MUMPS) project started a few years ago by Patrick Amestoy, Iain Duff and Jean-Yves L'Excellent. My interest are in High Performance Computing, parallel computing, linear algebra (numerical software in general).
Before moving to Lyon, I was a post-doc in the Innovative Computing Laboratory (ICL) lead by Prof. Jack Dongarra at the University of Tennessee Knoxville. There I worked at the LAPACK and ScaLAPACK projects. Most of my research was focused on the implementation of linear algebra operations for multicore architectures.
Before that I was a Ph.D. student at Dipartimento Informatica Sistemi e Produzione of University of Rome "Tor Vergata". Most of my Ph.D. work was related to the Parallel Sparse BLAS (PSBLAS) project started by Salvatore Filippone somewhere around 1999 and 2000.

I have a blog that I try to keep updated. You can reach it with a click here.
