NECST Lab Visit: Heterogeneous Systems, Hardware Acceleration, and More; Politecnico di Milano

The NECSTLab is a laboratory inside DEIB department of Politecnico di Milano (Dipartimento di Elettronica, Informazione e Bioingegneria). It is a place where research meets teaching, and teaching meets research, also through academics and industrial events. At NECSTLab, we perceive that a close connection between research and education must be pursued to prepare our students properly. Research and Teaching are perceived as a dichotomy. Coupling them in a productive and virtuous cycle has often been challenging. We believe that Research can obtain significant benefits from Teaching and the other way around, and this basic principle is at the basis of the NECSTLab. In particular, involving young students in research activities will heavily increase a research group’s creative and brainstorming phase. Students are not yet constrained in a research framework and are not scared by the idea of trying and failing to see their ideas coming to reality through their work.

Marco Domenico Santambrogio is a Professor at Politecnico di Milano since 2018, and an Adjunct Professor del College of Engineering of the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) since 2009. He was Assistant Professor at Politecnico di Milano from 2011 to 2018 and Research Affiliate with the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) from 2010 to 2015. He received his laurea (M.Sc. equivalent) degree in Computer Engineering from the Politecnico di Milano (2004), a M.Sc. degree in Computer Science from the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) in 2005 and his PhD degree in Computer Engineering from the Politecnico di Milano (2008) and we was a postdoc fellow at CSAIL, MIT (2009-2010).
