Welcome!

Short Bio

I am a Research Associate (post-doc) at the Software Verification and Validation Lab, University of Luxembourg, headed by prof. Domenico Bianculli, since January 2023.

I received my PhD from Lund University, department of Automatic Control, working with Martina Maggio. During my PhD, I started collaborating with the Software Verification and Validation Lab at the University of Luxembourg working with Seung Yeob Shin, Domenico Bianculli and Lionel Briand. This collaboration led to my current position. Previously, I obtained my master and bachelor degrees in Automation and Control Engineering from Politecnico di Milano, respectively in 2017 and 2015.

Research Interest

I do research on Software Engineering for Cyber-Physical Systems, focusing on their interdisciplinary nature. I leverage my background in Control Engineering to enhance the Software Verification and Validation techniques that are applied to such systems.

During my PhD I also worked on the testing of Self-Adaptive Software and on the design of control algorithms robust to the non-idealities of their real-time execution.
