Research Interests


I'm member of the MobiLab Research Group, and I'm an active collaborator of the CINI-ITEM "Carlo Savy" Laboratory of Naples. CINI is a consortium of 38 Italian Universities, based in Rome.

My main research interests include:

  • Dependability Assessment of complex systems
  • Model-based verification and log-based failure analysis
  • Middleware platforms for adaptive and mobile distributed systems


Teaching

  • Operating Systems, 2nd year of the B.S. in Computer Engineering at the University of Naples Federico II.
  • Real-Time Systems, 1st year of the M.S. in Systems Engineering at the University of Naples Federico II.
