Maurizio PALESI

Maurizio Palesi is an Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical, Electronics, and Computer Engineering at the University of Catania, Member of the ACM and a Senior Member of the IEEE. He earned his Ph.D. from the University of Catania in 2003.

Dr. Palesi's research primarily focuses on the design, optimization, and evaluation of advanced computing architectures, particularly in the fields of multi-core systems and network-on-chip (NoC) technologies. His work investigates efficient communication and data routing strategies within NoC architectures, aiming to improve performance, reduce latency, and enhance energy efficiency. He has made significant contributions to dynamic and adaptive routing algorithms, fault tolerance mechanisms, and the integration of artificial intelligence to optimize system functionality. His research also extends to system-level design methodologies and optimization tools for embedded systems and parallel computing, addressing both theoretical models and practical implementations. Across his body of work, Dr. Palesi consistently emphasizes scalability, reliability, and power efficiency in modern computational infrastructures.

Dr. Palesi has co-authored over 190 papers on topics including networks-on-chip (NoC), emerging interconnect technologies, low-power techniques, design space exploration methodologies, approximate computing, and deep neural network (DNN) hardware accelerators. His research on NoC architectures, particularly in routing algorithms, is widely recognized, and he has co-edited a book on the subject, published by Springer. He is also a co-developer of Noxim, one of the most widely used open-source NoC simulators in the research community, which has been cited in approximately 600 papers. Dr. Palesi has served as the Principal Investigator for numerous national and international research projects.

He has been a Guest Editor for over 20 special issues in international journals and has served as General Chair and Technical Program Committee (TPC) Co-Chair for several international conferences and workshops. Additionally, he serves as an Associate Editor for several journals. Dr. Palesi has received several prestigious awards, including the Best Paper Award at DATE 2011 and the HiPEAC Paper Award in 2014.
