I am a Computer Engineer and Affiliated Researcher at CISPA Helmholtz Center for Information Security, where I study performance bottlenecks in large-scale Agent-Based Simulations and hardware-software co-design for high-performance computing environments. (read more)

I hold a B.Sc. in Computer Engineering from the Polytechnic University of Tirana (2025). My research interests lie in high-performance computer architecture, with a focus on memory systems, hardware-software co-design for data-intensive workloads, graph processing, and prefetching in irregular workloads.

My recent work includes a poster at ACACES 2026 (HiPEAC Summer School, Fiuggi, Italy) as a merit-based grant recipient, a paper on shortest-path computation for urban road networks, and a publication on encryption as an architectural approach to securing memory systems. I am also an individual member of RISC-V International.

In parallel, I work as a Software Engineer at 3i Solutions Albania, working with microservices and distributed systems.

See my publications and CV for more details.
