About Me

I am Salvo Finistrella, a Ph.D. candidate in Industrial Innovation Engineering at the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia (DISMI). My research focuses on Artificial Intelligence, Reinforcement Learning, Multi-Agent Systems, and Cybersecurity within industrial environments.

With over 20 years of experience in IT, I work as an analyst programmer, trainer, and network architect. I develop web applications using modern frameworks and conduct training in programming, networking, and AI-driven solutions. I also serve as a technical consultant for public institutions and private companies, delivering AI-driven solutions in compliance with GDPR and security best practices.

I'm currently working on simulation environments for evaluating AI-based intrusion detection and defense strategies using SDN and Mininet, and actively collaborate in research, teaching, and professional training.
