Saverio Pasqualoni
Saverio is a Master’s student pursuing graduate studies (M.S. and Ph.D.) in Computer Science at KAUST, working in the SANDS research group on high-performance computing and collective communications, with research interests that bridge systems-level computer science and large-scale simulation through a strong mathematical foundation.
About
Saverio Pasqualoni is a graduate student in Computer Science at KAUST, where he is pursuing both an M.S. and a Ph.D. degree. He is a member of the CEMSE division and the Software-Defined Advanced Networked and Distributed Systems (SANDS) research group. His work focuses on high-performance computing, particularly collective communication algorithms and their performance evaluation. He is the developer of PICO, a benchmarking framework for collectives designed to study scalability and efficiency across modern supercomputers. After graduating with a B.S. in Applied Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence from Sapienza University of Rome, he completed a research internship where he contributed to the development and evaluation of Bine Trees, a novel family of collective algorithms that optimize communication locality in large-scale HPC systems. Before joining KAUST, he co-founded the Plum Juice student HPC team, where he promoted hands-on exploration of distributed computing. His research bridges systems-level computer science and large-scale simulation, supported by a strong mathematical foundation and enriched by participation in international summer schools, hackathons, and advanced HPC training programs.
