I was born in Campobasso (Italy) on April, 24th, 1990. I received (cum laude) the Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science from the University of Molise (Italy) in 2013, advised by Prof. Rocco Oliveto.
Afterwards I moved to the University of Salerno, where in 2015 I received my Master’s Degree (cum laude) in Computer Science, advised by Prof. Andrea De Lucia, defending a thesis on Search Based Software Testing.
Just after my M.Sc. I worked for one year as IT Analyst and Developer at Cedacri S.p.A., as a developer for the banking sector. In November 2016 I started my Ph.D., joining the s.e.a.l. group at the University of Zürich, lead by Prof. Harald C. Gall.
My main research interests include Search-Based Software Engineering (SBSE), with a main focus on Search-Based Software Testing (SBST), Software maintenance and evolution and Empirical Software Engineering.
I have been a semi-pro runners for quite some time (follow me here). I hold a marathon personal best of 2:14:31. I won the Italian Marathon Championship in 2020.
