In 2009, I achieved my Bachelor's Degree in Electronic Engineering from the Polytechnic of Turin. During my undergraduate I participated in a year-long exchange program at the Insa de Lyon, in France. Within the year abroad, I had the opportunity to experience the French culture and become proficient in the language. In the following fall academic year, I successfully enrolled in the MS-Atlantis dual degree program at Polytechnic of Turin.

This program included two semesters at the Georgia Institute of Technology, where I was able to increase my knowledge in Computer Architecture, Parallel Programming and Digital System Testing. Studying in the United States was not just a wonderful academic experience. While I gained important technical skills, I interacted with people from all over the world practicing how to adapt and efficiently work in a multicultural context. In spring 2011, I earned my Master's Degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology.

I am currently working on my Italian Master's Thesis at the Technische Universität München, which is focused on testing embedded cache memories in microprocessors. After this period in Germany, I am planning to go back to US in September and finish my Thesis there.
