Salvatore Pontarelli

CNIT Researcher

Salvatore Pontarelli received a master degree in electronic engineering at University of Bologna in 2000. In 2003 takes its PhD degree in Microelectronics and Telecommunications from the University of Rome Tor Vergata. Currently, he works as Researcher at CNIT (Italian National Inter-University Consortium for Telecommunications), in the research unit of University of Rome Tor Vergata. Dott. Pontarelli has worked for several years in the Defect and Fault Tolerance Group (DFTGroup) coordinated by Prof. Adelio Salsano. His research activities was focuses on fault tolerance, on-line testing and error correction codes.
From 2009 we started working on topics related to the hardware design of network devices participating in several EU funded projects. In 2011 he was recipient of a CISCO Research Award for the study on the combined use of Bloom filters and Ternary CAM.
