Curriculum vitae

In short

I am an associate professor at the Dipartimento di Elettronica, Informazione e Bioingegneria (DEIB) of the Politecnico di Milano, Milan, Italy, where I teach programming to management engineering students. I also teach a course on Enterprise Resource Planning in the Università della Svizzera Italiana (USI), Lugano, Switzerland. I worked as visiting professor in PUCRS, Porto Alegre, Brazil, as visiting researcher in UNSW, Sydney, Australia and HP Labs, Palo Alto, California, and as post-doc research fellow in University of Trento, Italy. I hold a Ph.D. in Information Technology (2007) and a M.Sc. in Computer Engineering (2003, cum laude) from Politecnico di Milano. I am co-author of the books Mashups: Concepts, Models and Architectures (Springer, 2014) and Engineering Web Applications (Springer, 2009) as well as of more than a 150 scientific publications in international journals, conferences and workshops. I served as program chair of BPM 2013, ICWE 2013 and MobiWIS 2013, and co-organized the international workshops ComposableWeb, BEWEB and AEWSE. I am/have been actively participating in various roles in several EU FP6/FP7 research projects and a number of industry-funded research projects in Europe, the United States and China.
