Bio
I am a Technology Program Manager in the R&D organisation of Technoprobe, a global leader in probe cards for wafer-level semiconductor testing, where I coordinate R&D technology programs from initiation to closure.
I hold a PhD in Blockchain and Distributed Ledger Technologies from the National PhD Program ISAS (University of Camerino / University of Turin), defended in June 2026. I continue my research as the grantee of an Ethereum Foundation PhD Fellowship (2026), studying economic models for citizen-controlled energy data markets on Ethereum, in collaboration with the Department of Computer Science, University of Turin. Links Foundation, where I was a blockchain researcher from 2022 to 2026, stays involved as an advisor to the project.
I work on distributed systems, applied cryptography, and software engineering. Concretely, I design blockchain-based data marketplaces for the energy domain, study DAO governance sustainability through on-chain metrics, and experiment with privacy-preserving techniques like Zero-Knowledge proofs, MPC, and FHE. I also have a growing interest in Layer 2 scaling solutions and the foundational protocol layer of blockchain systems.
In 2024-2025, I spent time as a visiting researcher at Brunel University London.
On the teaching side, I lecture in the Blockchain and Payments module of the Master in Cybersecurity at the University of Turin and co-supervise M.Sc. theses at Politecnico di Torino — details on the teaching page.
I also curate the Italian edition of zkintro, an open-access book series introducing zero-knowledge proofs: all three volumes are translated and published (books).
Outside of work, I organise and curate TEDxSchio. I previously directed the Startup Grind Padova chapter and served as an Ocean Protocol Ambassador.
