About Me
I work to position Data and AI at the core of business and operations aiming to deliver value to customers and society.
I am an IBM Data & AI Solution Architect and Master Inventor working on strategic projects around AI Factory, Data Fabric, Data Intelligence, Trustworthy AI, and Green AI.
I have 25+ years mixed industry-academic experience previously working as Director of Research with Samsung, Research Lead with IBM Research, Honorary Senior Fellow, Research Fellow at UniMelb, and Invited Professor at Korea University, and others.
I hold a PhD in Computer Sciences obtained in 2009 with thesis around Distributed AI and Mobile Computing.
Academic & Research
The integrating theme of my research is the construction of more adaptive, distributed, and intelligent information systems, able to support decision-making in complex settings, including reasoning machinery for systems that support complex behaviors. The leading topics are:
-
Distributed Computing
-
Distributed AI
-
Social Computing
I have been looking into multi-agent technology for the enactment of Distributed AI, especially in scenarios like Distribute Cloud, Intent-Based Networking, and 5G-MEC. This also includes multi-agent simulations and synthetic data.
From another point of view, AI for Social Good and Digital Education are topics I have worked in the past and still very dear to me.
