Name:Alberto Bacchelli

Bio:

I am associate professor at the University of Zurich (UZH), where I lead the Zurich Empirical Software Engineering Team (ZEST).

Before joining the UZH, I have worked as an assistant professor at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft), The Netherlands, for four years, after which I received tenure.

I obtained my Ph.D. in 2013 under the supervision of Prof. Michele Lanza, working in the REVEAL research group in the Faculty of Informatics at the Università della Svizzera Italiana (USI). I have been intern twice (2012 and 2013) at Microsoft Research (MSR) in Redmond, USA, working with Dr. Christian Bird.

Before starting my Ph.D., I worked as a software engineer at Cineca, the largest Italian computing center. I obtained my bachelor and master degrees in computer science from University of Bologna (UniBO), which included one year at the Université Libre De Bruxelles (ULB) during my Master’s.
