Short Biography

I received my PhD in Computer Engineering from the University of Perugia in 2003, and I am currently an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at the same institution. My research interests include graph drawing, computational geometry, information visualization, and algorithm engineering. I have actively contributed to program and organizing committees for various international conferences, such as the Symposium on Graph Drawing and Network Visualization and the European Workshop on Computational Geometry. I serve as a reviewer for various international conferences and journals in the field of Computer Science. I teach courses in the Bachelor's Degree in Computer and Electronic Engineering at the Department of Engineering and in the Master's Degree in Nursing and Midwifery Sciences at the Department of Medicine. I have participated in several national and international research projects, including initiatives supported by the Italian Ministry of University and Research and the European Community.

My main career milestones:
1999: Laurea Degree in Electronic Engineering (University of Perugia).
2003: Ph.D. in Computer Engineering (University of Perugia).
2006: Assistant professor (University of Perugia - DI).

Technology Transfer

In December 2017, I co-founded CONTATTI yi-zhong-yi Srl, a spin-off company of the University of Perugia. The company, which brought together engineers and linguists, focused on advanced ICT solutions and intelligent technologies for promoting and developing tourism in Italy, with a particular emphasis on Chinese tourists. It ceased operations at the end of 2020, partly due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on international tourism.
