About

About Me

Overview

Diaeddin Rimawi is a technologist at the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano's Cybersecurity Laboratory (CSLab), where he manages the lab's core activities and infrastructure, including the Cyber Range and threat intelligence systems. He advises on research technologies, contributes to project proposals and funding applications, supports the research group with technical and academic input, and helps teach and develop materials for the Systems and Software Security Lab for master's students.
He holds a PhD in Advanced-Systems Engineering from the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, funded by a PON scholarship for innovation. Under the guidance of Professor Barbara Russo and Professor Antonio Liotta, his doctoral research introduced the concept of 'Green Resilience' in Smart Cyber-Physical Systems. He developed three decision-making policies to support the green recovery of online Collaborative AI Systems (e.g., collaborative robots) in the face of disruptive events. These policies leverage optimization algorithms, game theory, and reinforcement learning to effectively manage the trade-off between sustainability and resilience.
Previously, Diaeddin served as a University Instructor at Birzeit University, Head of Instructors at AXSOS Academy, and a Software Engineer at ASAL Technologies within the NVIDIA MFT Team, gaining hands-on experience across both startup and enterprise environments. These roles have equipped him with a solid understanding of both academic and industry contexts, enhancing his ability to bridge research and real-world application.
