PostDoc Researcher & Adjunct Professor · Department of Computer Science and Engineering, University of Bologna
I work on the software engineering of cyber-physical and autonomous systems — the abstractions, languages and tools to build systems where software agents, digital twins and physical devices work together.
What I work on
Digital Twins
Engineering digital twins of physical assets, processes and environments: modular and interoperable architectures that applications and agents can build on.
Multi-Agent Systems
Languages, frameworks and tools for programming autonomous agents and the systems they form, with an eye on making them explainable.
Semantic Web of Things
Web of Things and knowledge graphs to describe devices, services and environments so that both software agents and people can understand them.
