Hello, my name is

Filippo La Fauci

I build intelligent embedded systems

Electronic Engineering graduate and Erasmus Mundus Joint Master student in Sustainable Systems Engineering. Specialized in embedded ML, AI systems, and cyber-physical Systems-of-Systems.

01. About Me

Hello! I'm Filippo, an Electronic Engineering graduate from the University of Genoa (99/110) and currently an Erasmus Mundus Joint Master student in Sustainable Systems Engineering, specializing in Systems-of-Systems and Computer Engineering.

My expertise lies in embedded machine-learning systems, relational-database design, and data analysis. I'm passionate about the intersection of AI, technology policy, and global security, with hands-on experience in cyber-physical systems and autonomous decision-making.

When I'm not coding, you can find me on the slopes as a competitive alpine skier, exploring new countries (I've visited more than 50!), or diving deep into emerging technologies.

Petri-Net Model of Elevator Control System with AnyLogic Implementation
2025

Featured Project

Petri-Net Model of Elevator Control System with AnyLogic Implementation

Developed and verified a minimal Petri-net model of a single-car elevator across three floors using PIPE². Computed incidence matrices, reachability graphs, and invariants to prove conservation, boundedness, and liveness. Verified deadlock-freedom and graceful termination. Simulated and analyzed control logic behavior in AnyLogic.
