Bio:
I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Information Engineering, Computer Science and Mathematics (DISIM) at the University of L’Aquila, Italy. I obtained my Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Jena, Germany, and subsequently held postdoctoral positions at Polytechnic University of Bari and the University of L’Aquila.
My research interests lie at the intersection of Software Engineering, Mining Software Repositories, Recommender Systems, and Machine Learning. My recent work focuses on developing intelligent recommender systems for software engineering tasks, particularly for mining and analyzing open-source code repositories. Since January 2026, I have served as Editor-in-Chief of the Software Quality Journal, a leading international journal in software engineering and software quality research.
