Daniele Moro is a Chief Science Officer and applied ML systems engineer with a decade of experience building ultra-efficient ML models and hardware-software co-design for production at Google, DeepMind, YouTube, and startups. He led teams that delivered orders-of-magnitude efficiency gains for LLMs and vision models—work that spawned papers like PikeLPN and drove a 3x energy reduction and, in one YouTube deployment, over 300x inference cost savings versus prior state-of-the-art. A hands-on researcher and backend developer, Daniele has contributed to the widely used ONOS open network OS (adding P4/UPF support and traffic metrics) and helped launch the world’s first transformer ASIC inference engine at Etched. Based in Sunnyvale, he blends academic publications and patents with scaled product delivery, and has a track record of turning research prototypes into production hardware-accelerated systems. Notably, he often focuses on quantization and co-design trade-offs that make large models viable on constrained hardware.

Contributions summary:Daniele made several significant contributions to the ONOS project, primarily focused on the core network operating system. They added support for suggested paths within the PointToPointIntent compiler and introduced functionality to clone packets to the CPU using clone sessions. Further work included implementing application filtering and various improvements related to UPF (User Plane Function) and P4Runtime, including the addition of the UpfProgrammable interface. Their work also involved adding metrics to monitor the traffic.
