Rodolfo Pellizzoni

Rodolfo Pellizzoni is an Associate Professor in the Electrical and Computer Engineering department at the University of Waterloo.
His main research focus is the development of new hardware and software architectures for Cyber-Physical Systems - the next generation of high-performance, safety-critical embedded systems. Due to the requirements imposed by these systems in term of performance, safety and timing predictability; it is a multidisciplinary effort involving embedded system architecture and hardware/software co-design, real-time resource management, timing analysis and operating systems.
In addition to his research work, Professor Pellizzoni has published over 50 refereed journal articles, refereed conference proceedings, workshop publications and technical reports.
