About me
I'm a Tenure-Track Assistant Professor (Ricercatore a Tempo Determinato di tipo B) at the Department of Information Engineering, Electrical Engineering and Applied Mathematics (DIEM), University of Salerno (Fisciano, Italy). I received my Ph.D. in Mathematics and Computer Science from University of Calabria (Rende, Italy), where I defended my thesis "Generalizing Identity-Based String Similarity Metrics: Theory and Applications".
I have obtained the Italian National Scientific Qualification (Abilitazione Scientifica Nazionale, ASN) for the role of Associate Professor in Computer Science.
I have been a visiting researcher at Department of Artificial Intelligence and Cybersecurity, University of Klagenfurt (Austria), and a visiting Ph.D. student at CERMEP, CREATIS, Université Claude Bernand Lyon 1 (France).

Ph.D. Courses
L'inferno dei viventi non è qualcosa che sarà; se ce n'è uno, è quello che è già qui, l'inferno che abitiamo tutti i giorni, che formiamo stando insieme. Due modi ci sono per non soffrirne. Il primo riesce facile a molti: accettare l'inferno e diventarne parte fino al punto di non vederlo più. Il secondo è rischioso ed esige attenzione e apprendimento continui: cercare e saper riconoscere chi e cosa, in mezzo all'inferno, non è inferno, e farlo durare, e dargli spazio.
