Short Bio


I received a PhD in Computer Science from University College London in May 2007 and a Laurea in Electronic Engineering (roughly comparable to a British MSc in Electronic Engineering) from the University of Bologna in December 2002. 

From June to December 2002 I prepared my Master degree thesis at the Department of Computer Science at University College London, working as research assistant as part of the XMIDDLE project. After receiving my Master degree, I spent a period in industry working as software engineer at E-Tree (Treviso, Italy) and at Kion (Bologna, Italy).

During summer 2003 I did an internship at the
Institut National de Recherche en Informatique et en Automatique (INRIA), the National French Research Institute in Computer Science and Automation, at Rocquencourt, near Paris, in the Arles group headed by Dr. Valerie Issarny.

Then, I went back to London where I started my PhD at UCL in October 2003 under the supervision of Dr. Cecilia Mascolo. In October 2005 I became a Research Fellow involved in the CREAM project. I held this position until August 2007. From September 2007 to August 2008 I was an ISTS Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Department of Computer Science, Dartmouth College, New Hampshire, USA, where I was a member of the Sensor Networks Group, headed by Prof. Andrew T. Campbell working in the MetroSense Project. From September 2008 to October 2009 I was a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the Computer Laboratory, University of Cambridge as a member of the Networking and Operating Systems (NetOS) group.

From November 2009 to August 2011 I was a
SICSA Lecturer at the School of Computer Science at the University of St Andrews.

I joined the
School of Computer Science at the University of Birmingham as Senior Lecturer in September 2011.

Personal

On a more personal note, I am originally from the beautiful city of Bologna, Italy. Besides my research interests, I enjoy:

-
reading
good books (almost everything, from novels to non-fiction books);
- eating good food (I am Italian after all);
- keeping myself informed about what is going on around the world;
-
running (I am rather improbably into long-distance runs. I completed four marathons - Paris 2009, Venice 2009, London 2012, and Paris 2013. I am now thinking about running in Florence at the end of the year, let's see. As usual the goal is to cross the finish line);

- everything connected to the ever fascinating  history of computing. I also collect classic/old Computer Science books (if you are thinking about throwing away that old Algol manual, please contact me);
-
the visual arts (in particular architecture).
