Born in 1987, Federico Terraneo has obtained the Master of Science Degree in Engineering of Computing Systems at the Politecnico di Milano with the thesis "Control based design of OS components", and the Research doctorate in Information Technology with the thesis "Thermal and energy management techniques for multi-core and many-core systems".

His current research line focuses on improving time determinism of distributed embedded systems, and thermal management for microprocessor-based computing systems.

He has multidisciplinary research interests, including embedded systems and operating systems, with a lively interest in designinig hardware and software components applying a control-theoretical methodology.
Since 2008 he is the original designer, main developer and maintainer of Miosix (http://miosix.org), an operating system kernel targeting microcontroller-based embedded systems.
