In particular, my work aims at the design of optimization algorithms for the maximization of Quality of Service and for the resource management of fog\/edge\/cloud infrastructures and HPC systems. Recently, I&#8217;m focusing on AI applications (I&#8217;ve recently coordinated the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ai-sprint-project.eu\">AI-SPRINT<\/a> project), reinforcement learning, and I also work on performance analysis \u00a0and optimization of large-scale systems and software (see also the <a href=\"http:\/\/modaclouds.eu\/\">MODAClouds<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/cordis.europa.eu\/project\/id\/644869\">DICE,\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.eubra-bigsea.eu\">EUBRA-BIGSEA<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.computer.org\/web\/tcc\">ATMOSPHERE<\/a> projects). I also developed energy efficiency solutions for the management of virtualized infrastructures (<a href=\"http:\/\/home.dei.polimi.it\/ardagna\/game-it\/index.html\">GAME-IT<\/a>\u00a0project). During my Ph.D. studies, I investigated the problem of cost-oriented design and capacity planning of distributed IT architectures.<\/p>\n<h2>Awards (last 10 years)<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p class=\"p1\">R.
