“Per Aspera...”

Bio

I am a PostDoctoral researcher at the Software Institute at Università della Svizzera italiana (USI) in Lugano, Switzerland. I am working under the supervision of Paolo Tonella on the Precrime ERC Advanced Grant project. I obtained by Ph.D. from Università degli studi di Genova, Genova, Italy, in a joint collaboration with Fondazione Bruno Kessler in Trento, Italy, under the supervision of Paolo Tonella and Filippo Ricca.

Research Interests

I am interested in Software Testing with a particular focus on test generation. I have built tools to automatically generate tests for Web Applications and Deep Reinforcement Learning Systems.
