Introduction to GitWorks: an Open DevOps platform for Cyber Physical Systems and Digital Twins

Speaker bio: I grew up on a small island in the middle of the Mediterranean called Sant’Antioco (close to the coast of Sardinia). It’s a truly beautiful place and I love it dearly but, unfortunately, there isn’t much to do there apart from fishing and tourism. So, after high school, I left to see a bit of the world. I ended up getting a Master’s Degree in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Pisa. After that, I was a Research Associate at San Diego State University (SDSU) for two years. I led two research projects related to the F22 and Global Hawk development programmes and still managed to do some surfing. I carried out my PhD in Advanced Composites materials at Imperial College London. My research was awarded with the 2016 best PhD researcher from SAMPE UK and the 2019 Thesis award finalist from the Department of Aeronautics at Imperial. After the PhD, as CTO of Synbiosys Ltd, I led three R&D projects in collaboration with the Defence And Security Accelerator (DASA). In 2019, I left Synbiosys to start Perpetual Labs and the rest is history, as they say.
