I am an assistant professor (tenure track) at the University of L’Aquila, Italy. I obtained a Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Jena, Germany. I was a postdoctoral researcher at Polytechnic University of Bari and the University of L’Aquila. My research interests include Software Engineering, Mining Software Repositories, Recommender Systems, and Machine Learning. Recently, I have been working to develop recommender systems in Software Engineering for mining open source code repositories.
