The researches span from aerospace application, where Prof. Violante is investigating the usage of commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) components such as microprocessors, and FPGAs to build novel on-board computers for telemetry, command and control, and payload processing, to automotive applications where Prof. Violante is investigating the usage of COTS software components such as embedded hypervisors and model-based design techniques to build develop mixed-criticalities applications. His role in the MaMMoTH-UP project focuses mainly on reliability evaluation and hardening techniques.
