1. In Summer of Code 2005 i worked [http://wikitest.freebsd.org/Libalias libalias] and ipfw, my mentor was [http://info.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/ Luigi Rizzo]

1. In Summer of Code 2006 i worked on [http://wikitest.freebsd.org/Interrupts interrupt filtering], my mentor was [http://people.freebsd.org/~jhb/ John Baldwin]

I got a Master Degree in Computer Science at the University of Milan in 2003, and now i'm a PhD student working in the field of Operating System and doing research on SMP related topics.

I have experience of work inside the FreeBSD kernel, particularly in the FreeBSD network stack: in 2005 i applied (and got chosen) at Summer of Code 2005, and had a chance to work on [http://mercurio.srv.dsi.unimi.it/~pisati/libalias/ libalias and ipfw]. As part of my PhD work, i spent the last months profiling FreeBSD's [http://mercurio.srv.dsi.unimi.it/~pisati/interrupt/ interrupt handling performance] in 4.x and 7.x.

For my MS thesis, i wrote a firewall encapsulated inside a netgraph node, and just for fun i wrote a sort of bpf that let me manipulate network packets straight into the kernel.

Moreover I have experience of work/research in the field of [http://www.imc.pi.cnr.it/~marcop/papiri/gfilter.pdf packet classification] and [http://www.math.unipd.it/~fabseb60/Publications/SAC06.pdf web clustering].
