• He coordinated the European Project AXIOM (3.9Meuro cost, 2015-2018, 7 partners) about designing and manufacturing the next-generation board for Cyber-Physical Systems. 

• He coordinated the TERAFLUX project (8.5Meuro cost, 2010-2014, 11 partners) in Future and Emerging Technologies for Teradevice Computing. 

• He is member of the HiPEAC Network of Excellence (High Performance Embedded-system Architecture and Compilation) since 2004. 

• He was Deputy Steering Committee in the HiPEAC, Application leader in the ERA project (Embedded Reconfigurable Architectures), participated in SARC (Scalable ARChitectures), and attracted more than 3 Million Euro of Research Funding to the University of Siena in the last decade. 

• He took part in the ChARM project, developing software for performance evaluation of ARM-processor-based embedded systems with cache memory. 

• He has been IEEE Judge for the IEEE-CSIDC (Computer Society International Design Competition). 

• He led the project ”Bluesign Translator”, which received a 5th worldwide prize by IEEE and top companies, and received the FORUM-P.A. prize by the Italian Ministry of Technological and Scientific Innovation, as absolute winner in the category of “actions for the social integration of disadvantaged people through ICT”. 

• The European Commission has selected him as an independent expert for evaluating ICT European Projects. 

• He is a co-author of more than 170 scientific papers. 

• His current interests include Computer Architecture themes such as Embedded Systems, Multiprocessors, Memory System Performance, Workload Characterization, and High-Performance Computing. 

• He is a Lifetime member of ACM and a Senior Member of the IEEE - IEEE Computer Society
