Rodolfo Pellizzoni

Rodolfo Pellizzoni is a Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Waterloo, Canada. His research focuses on real-time systems, embedded systems, and computer architecture, with an emphasis on time-predictable computing, multicore systems, and FPGA networks. He has contributed extensively to cache management, memory resource coordination, and security-aware scheduling in critical systems.

His work includes designing frameworks like HopliteRT for FPGA NoCs, optimizing memory bandwidth regulation, and addressing challenges in mixed-criticality systems. Pellizzoni is affiliated with the Faculty of Engineering and maintains a research group focused on hardware-software co-design for real-time applications. His research bridges theoretical models (e.g., Network Calculus) with practical implementations, emphasizing latency reduction and resource predictability in heterogeneous platforms.

Recent publications highlight advancements in cache partitioning, dynamic memory allocation, and scheduling algorithms for multicore processors. His work often appears in top-tier conferences like Euromicro Conference on Real-Time Systems (ECRTS) and journals focusing on embedded and real-time systems.
