Senior🎓
Top SchoolGabriele Gemmi is a research scientist with 13 years of experience specializing in decentralized networking and bottom-up network architectures, currently based in the United States and affiliated with Northeastern University. He holds a Master's with highest honors from the University of Trento and has pursued PhD work in computer architecture and computer science across European institutions, blending deep academic rigor with hands-on systems research. His early contributions include two Google Summer of Code projects with Freifunk—implementing Pop-Routing in OLSRv1 and developing Prince—demonstrating long-standing practical expertise in routing protocol implementation using C, C++ and Python. Gabriele has balanced visiting scholar roles and internships (including work on MPTCP) with doctoral study, showing a pattern of moving research into real-world network experiments. He is particularly drawn to efforts that decentralize control and power, combining protocol-level optimization experience with a PhD-level view of computer systems. Colleagues describe him as a pragmatic researcher who prefers building working prototypes that expose clear paths from theory to deployment.
