Tommaso Cucinotta is a Head of the Real-Time Systems Laboratory (RETIS) and associate professor at Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna with over 16 years of experience bridging academic research and industry engineering in real-time and cloud systems. His work spans soft real-time scheduling, real-time cloud QoS, Linux kernel scheduling, and security—skills honed during research roles, at Bell Labs, and as an SDE on AWS DynamoDB where he tackled performance and scalability under tight latency constraints. He holds a PhD on smart-card authentication and an MSc with highest honors, and has a track record of translating formal real-time theory into practical kernel and cloud-level implementations. Tommaso combines leadership of a research lab with hands-on system development, mentoring students and shipping production-grade improvements to large-scale distributed systems. An interesting detail: his career threads both low-level embedded security (smart cards, kernel schedulers) and large-scale cloud databases, giving him rare end-to-end expertise in latency-sensitive systems.
