Exploring the Future of Cyber-Physical Systems: Innovations, Challenges, and Opportunities with Prof. Renato Mancuso - Director of the Cyber-Physical Systems Lab
Renato Mancuso
Associate professor in the Computer Science Department & Director of the Cyber-Physical Systems Lab
Boston University | Graduate School of Arts & Sciences Renato Mancuso is an associate professor in the Computer Science Department at Boston University (BU) where he also covers the role of director of the Cyber-Physical Systems Lab. Before joining BU in 2017, Renato received his Ph.D. from the Department of Computer Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He received a B.S. in Computer Engineering with honors (2009) and a M.S. in Computer Engineering with honors (2012) from the University of Rome “Tor Vergataâ€. He is particularly interested in high-performance cyber-physical systems, focusing on techniques to achieve controllable timeliness for safety-critical applications in complex accelerator-enabled embedded systems. With his research group at BU, he has pioneered software/hardware techniques to perform fine-grained performance profiling and management, with a specific focus on practical approaches that can be used in emerging hybrid (CPU+FPGA) platforms. He has also extensive expertise with applications on fixed-wing and multi-rotor aircraft, and autonomous ground vehicles. His research articles received multiple awards at top-ranking international conferences in the field—including multiple Best (Student) Paper, Outstanding Paper, Best Demo, and Best Presentation awards. Prof. Mancuso also received the NSF CAREER Award in 2023 and the Gerald and Deanne Gitner Family Award for Innovation in Teaching with Technology. His research has been supported by both federal agencies and industrial partners such as Bosch, Red Hat, Cisco, and Xilinx. He is a senior member of the IEEE and a member of the ACM SIGBED community. His Cyber-Physical Systems Lab recruits motivated master and Ph.D. students with interest and skills ranging from robotics, to operating systems, to virtualization technologies, to FPGA development.
