Welcome
I am a computer scientist with a dual interest in fundamental and applied research. My main research areas are computational intelligence, distributed systems, and explainable AI. Moreover, I have over 10 years industrial experience in mechatronics and numerical optimization applied e.g. to logistics, scheduling, and engineering design.
Currently, I am Associate Professor at the Department of Information Engineering and Computer Science (DISI), University of Trento, Italy, where I lead the Distributed Intelligence and Optimization Lab (DIOL), and I teach courses on Computer Architectures (Bachelor's level), Bio-Inspired Artificial Intelligence (Master's level), and Optimization Techniques (Master's level).
My public profiles are available on Google Scholar, Scopus, ORCID, DBLP, SemanticScholar, ResearchGate, WoS, LinkedIn, and Twitter.
