Salvatore Corallo
Salvatore Corallo is a Ph.D. candidate at IMDEA Networks Institute, where he conducts research within the European ANT project. His work focuses on the development and application of Embedded AI for smart farming, with the goal of enabling AI capabilities on ultra-low-power sensing platforms and bringing intelligence closer to the edge.
Originally from Palermo, Italy, he earned both his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Electronics Engineering from the University of Palermo, with a specialization in Telecommunications during his master’s studies. During this time, he also completed an internship at IMDEA Networks in the Pervasive Wireless Systems Group, where he expanded his expertise in embedded systems, low-power sensing, and practical AI for constrained devices.
His current research centers on designing and testing systems for smart farming based on real-life use cases, using battery-free IoT sensors developed at IMDEA Networks. In parallel, he works on the development and implementation of lightweight, efficient on-device machine learning structures tailored to highly resource-constrained embedded platforms.
Driven by an interest in sustainable and intelligent technologies, he is particularly motivated by the challenge of combining embedded AI, energy-efficient design, and real-world sensing applications to create practical solutions for next-generation agriculture and beyond.
