About me
Hi there, I am Jacopo, a Ph.D. student in Computer and Control Engineering at Politecnico di Torino, Italy, under the supervision of Prof. Fulvio Risso. My main research interests are Cloud Computing, orchestration of multi-cloud environments and robotics at the Edge.
I received a Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering in 2020 and a Master's degree in Computer Engineering (Software major) in 2022 with a thesis on "Dynamic Provisioning and Run-time Optimization of Cloud Workloads", both from the Politecnico di Torino, Italy.
When I am away from the computer, you can often find me outdoors, whether I'm delighting in a refreshing run or leisurely strolling through the surroundings.
