I received the Laurea degree in Electronic Engineering from the University of Rome "La Sapienza" in 2000 and the PhD degree in Information Engineering from the University of Perugia in 2003. I am currently an assistant professor of computer science at the University of Perugia. My research interests include Graph Drawing, Computational Geometry, Information Visualization, and Algorithm Engineering. I collected more than 80 international publications in the above areas. I served in the scientific and organizing commitees of several international conferences including the International Symposium on Graph Drawing, the IEEE Pacific Visualization Symposium, and the ACM Symposium on Computational Geometry. I have been also involved in several national and international research projects, including projects supported by the Italian Ministry of Education and by the European Community.

I currently teach:

• Fondamenti di Informatica, Corso di Laurea in Ingegneria Informatica ed Elettronica, 9CFU (Fundamentals of computer science, Undergraduate Course in Information and Electronic Engineering)
• Algoritmi e Strutture Dati, Corso di Laurea in Ingegneria Informatica ed Elettronica (Algorithms and Data Structures, Undergraduate Course in Information and Electronic Engineering)

I have written the following textbook: Fondamenti di Informatica in Java, Emilo Di Giacomo, Walter Didimo, Maggioli Ed., 2014.

I am co-founder of the Vis4 Srl company, started as a spin-off of the University of Perugia, and working in the Information Visualization and Visual Analytics fields. The spin-off, founded in 2009, established relevant contracts and collaborations with national and international companies and institutions, like the Financial Intelligence Agency (AIF) of the San Marino Republic and Fabrica, the advertisement company of the Benetton group. Vis4 is also one of the founding member companies of the GGB Consortium (Genomics, Genetics, and Biology), founded in the 2010 with the financial support of the Umbria Region. In November 2014, all the academic members of Vis4 have sold their shares to private entrepreneurs, and the company has changed is name.
