About Me

I was born in Campobasso (Italy) on August, 2nd, 1996. I received (cum laude) Master's degree in Software System Security from the University of Molise (Italy) in July 2020, by defending a thesis named: "DeepGen: a multi-task learning model for software engineering related-tasks", advised by Prof. Rocco Oliveto and Prof. Denys Poshyvanyk. In October 2020 I started my Ph.D. in the SEART group @USI, working on the DEVINTA project advised by Prof. Gabriele Bavota

Education

2018-2020

University of Molise

MSc in Software Security and Systems

During my master's degree, I had the opportunity to grow my skills and enrich my knowledge by taking part in various research projects ranging from formal methods, machine learning, and deep learning. I successfully defended my master thesis in July 2020

2015-2018

University of Molise

BSc in Computer Science

During my bachelor's degree, I built a solid computer science foundation and, in my final year, I had the chance to work on a research project concerning the dynamic distribution of the search budget in search-based software testing. This project led me to an experimental thesis named: "An Adaptive allocation of search budget in search-based software testing", where Prof. Rocco Oliveto was my supervisor. I graduated(Cum Laude) in July 2018, by successfully defending my thesis

Experience

Spring 2020

University of Molise

Research Assistant

I was in charge of developing and implementing an over-approximation schema for the entire C99 programming language. I integrated such a schema into Lazy C-Seq (a tool that analyzes concurrent programs) by leveraging the code-to-code translation technique. I was supervised by Prof. Gennaro Parlato and Prof. Salvatore La Torre
