What do I do

• Currently I'm an Assistant Professor (Researcher in Computer Science) at Dipartimento di Informatica, University of Turin, research group "Semantics and Logics of Computation".
• I was a Contract Researcher, working within Concurrency and Mobility Group at Dipartimento di Sistemi ed Informatica, University of Florence, held by Prof. Rocco De Nicola.
• I took a PhD student in Computer Science at University of Siena, working within Concurrency and Mobility Group at Dipartimento di Sistemi ed Informatica, Università di Firenze, held by Prof. Rocco De Nicola.
• I was at Microsoft Research Limited in Cambridge, from August 2000 to October 2000, working with Ant Rowstron, within the Distributed Systems Group, on Distributed Applications.
• I took the degree in Computer Science on 20th April 1998 with full honours (110 cum laude) :-) at University Ulisse Dini in Florence. For my Master thesis I designed and developed X-Klaim a programming language for distributed applciations with mobile code using Java.
• The part of Informatics I love more is the pratical one. In particular I love Programming Languages (especially Object Oriented Languages), Distributed Applications and Operating Systems (see my free software).
• I worked at Centro Linguistico Ateneo Università di Firenze, as a Computer Science consultant and trainer.
• I wrote articles for MokaByte (the italian on-line journal about Java). I also write for Infomedia magazines: Computer Programming, DEV and Login, and for Dr.Dobbs' Journal.
• The languages I know are: Basic (since the far Commodore 64), Clipper (mythic), obviously C and C++, Assembly, Java, HTML, Delphi, SQL, Pascal (brrr...), and, in spite of me, Matlab, and Prolog.
• Moreover I did some CGI programs.
• Now I'm also enjoying PHP and Javascript for dynamic web pages.
• The operating systems I'm using are Windows XP, and, primarily, Linux. See also my free software section.
• I used Unix (in particular Xenix) when I was working, I developed many db programs in Clipper for U.S.L. 10/C and the most import one was the informatization of Autorizzazioni Sanitarie Office.
• I did some statistics in Acces for a questionarie delivered to some schools by A.T.A.F., in collaboration with Logos Informatica Servizi S.r.l. for which I worked few years ago.
• I took part in the publication "Gente che ha voglia di fare, indagine conoscitiva sulla realtà giovanile e le agenzie formative che operano sul territorio" published by Regione Toscana, Giunta Regionale, Distretto Scolastico 12, Consiglio di Quartiere 4, Firenze. For this I did some statistics in ISIS 30 (blahh).
• I taught Visual C++, and C Elements, at high school Chinnici (Cellini).
• I also worked in collaboration with the ISP Timenet.
