Alessandro Biondi is Assistant Professor of Computer Engineering at the Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna of Pisa (Italy), where he works at the Real-Time Systems (ReTiS) Laboratory.
Since 2018, he holds the Italian National Scientific Qualification for Associate Professor in Computer Engineering (09/H1).
His main research interests include the design and implementation of real-time, safe, and secure cyber-physical systems, operating systems and hypervisors, synchronization protocols, design optimization for embedded systems, and formal analysis of scheduling algorithms.

He graduated cum laude in Computer Engineering at the University of Pisa, Italy, within the excellence program. In 2017, he received a PhD cum laude in Emerging Digital Technologies (curriculum Embedded Systems) at the Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna under the supervision of Prof. Giorgio Buttazzo and Prof. Marco Di Natale.
In 2016, he has been Visiting Researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Software Systems in Kaiserslautern (Germany), where he worked with Prof. Bjoern B. Brandenburg.
He was the recipient of several awards including five Best Paper Awards, one Best Journal Paper Award (IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics), one Outstanding Paper Award, one Best Presentation Award, one Best Paper Nomination, the EDAA Outstanding Dissertation Award 2017 in the area "New directions in software design and optimization for embedded, cyber-physical and secure systems", and the ACM SIGBED Early Career Award 2019.

Alessandro Biondi has been involved as member of the Program Committee of the three top conferences in the area of real-time systems (RTSS, ECRTS, RTAS) and other two top-class conferences in the area of embedded systems (EMSOFT, DAC). He is Associate Editor of Journal of Real-Time Systems (Springer), the major journal on time-critical computing, and he served as reviewer for most IEEE/ACM Transactions journals that cover research on embedded and cyber-physical systems.

In about five years of research activity, he published more than 60 papers in international conferences, quality journals, and workshops, and filed two patents. He is currently leading industrial research projects in the area of safety-critical and secure software systems for automotive and railway industries, and he has been involved in research projects funded by the European Commission.

Alessandro Biondi is also co-founder of Wriggle Solutions, a spin-off company of the Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna that developed an innovative system to monitor tyres in real-time. Wriggle Solutions received seven awards for startup companies at both the national and international level, and the SME Instrument grant from the European Commission.
