Welcome!
I am Associate Professor at University of Molise (Italy), where I am also the Chair of the Computer Science Bachelor and Master programs and the Director of the Software and Knowledge Engineering Lab (STAKE Lab).
I co-authored over 100 papers on topics related to software traceability, software maintenance and evolution, search-based software engineering, and empirical software engineering.
My activities span various international software engineering research communities. I have served as organizing and program committee member of several international conferences in the field of software engineering. I was program co-chair of ICPC 2015, TEFSE 2015 and 2009, SCAM 2014, WCRE 2013 and 2012. I was also keynote speaker at MUD 2012.
I am also one of the co-founders and CEO of datasounds, a spin-off of the University of Molise aiming at efficiently exploiting the priceless heritage that can be extracted from big data analysis.
