Model-Driven Engineering · Software Architecture · Digital Twins

Languages and tools that make complex software easier to design, evolve and trust.

I hold a Ph.D. in Computer Science and I am an Associate Professor in the Computer Science department of the Gran Sasso Science Institute (GSSI) in L'Aquila.

The GSSI is an international PhD school and a centre for advanced studies in physics, mathematics, computer science and social sciences, instituted as an Italian graduate school of advanced studies in 2016 after a three-year experimental period.
