معرفی
Roberto Palmieri is an Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Science & Engineering at Lehigh University, where he co-leads the Scalable Systems Software (SSS) Research Group. He holds a Ph.D., M.S., and B.S. in Computer Engineering from Sapienza University of Rome (2012, 2008, 2006). His research focuses on concurrency, synchronization, distributed computing, and heterogeneous systems, emphasizing protocols optimized for multicore, cluster-scale, and geo-distributed infrastructures.
His work spans theoretical and practical advancements in distributed systems, including atomic registers, consensus algorithms, and blockchain concurrency control. He has received an NSF CAREER Award for research on RDMA-optimized distributed protocols. Palmieri advises students in the Rossin College of Engineering and collaborates on high-performance computing projects, contributing to frameworks like HyFlow and Shield.
