I'm a Staff Software Engineer at [[http://www.arm.com|ARM Ltd]] (Cambridge) working as a Linux scheduler specialist for the ARM big.LITTLE architecture, HMP scheduler maintenance and customers support. I cooperate also in the development of the Energy-Aware Scheduler (EAS) where I'm mainly in charge of research and development to target application-specific run-time power/performance optimizations. Previously I've been a Post-Doc at DEI - Politecnico di Milano - where I was mainly involved with the EU sponsored [[http://2parma.microlab.ntua.gr/|2PARMA project]], focusing on //run-time resource management// for multi-many cores heterogeneous platforms. I earned my PhD degree at Politecnico di Milano in 2009 working in tight collaboration with AST, the R&D division of STMicroelectronics, in the group of [[http://fr.linkedin.com/in/diegomelpignano|Diego Melpignano]].\\ My {{:research:bellasiphdthesis.pdf|PhD Thesis}} focused on dynamic power management at Operating System level, targeting mobile multimedia embedded systems. Prior to that I earned my {{:research:bellasimsthesisita.pdf|M.S. Thesis}} degree at the same University in 2005 and the high school degree in 1999 from the Istituto Tecnico Scientifico "E. Mattei". **Research interests** My work interests are in the area of //run-time systems//, focusing especially on //resources management// and //power/performance optimizations//. I'm interested in understanding current and future application trends and characteristics to help develop efficient computation platforms in light of upcoming many-cores and heterogeneous architecture challenges like: power and resources management, task-scheduling, self-adaptive applications and multi-objective optimizations. I've become keen in applying my background on //dynamic power/performance optimizations// in the //Linux kernel//, targeting real world applications and ranging from embedded Android systems to HPC distributed systems. Sometimes these optimization required a hardware-software co-design approach. Because of my research experience and tight collaboration with companies like ARM and STMicroelectronics I've gained a hands-on view on the importance and practical aspects of power/performance optimization in mobile computing platforms like smartphones, which is the main domain I'm focusing upon.
