From 1999 to 2006, he worked with the Software Engineering group at ITC-irst (now Fondazione Bruno Kessler), Trento, Italy. During this time he was part of the team that worked on Reverse engineering, Re-engineering and Testing of Software and Web Systems. The main project, in which he was involved, was WebFAQ (Web Flexible Access and Quality). It was a project funded by the Fondo Unico per la Ricerca della provincia autonoma di Trento (since 2002 to 2004).

He received his PHD in Computer Science from the Computer Science Department (DISI) of the University of Genova in 2003, with the thesis Analysis, Testing and Re-structuring of Web Applications.

During the 2006, he changed his affiliation, from ITC-irst to CINI Unity at DISI, Laboratorio Iniziativa Software FINMECCANICA/ELSAG spa - CINI, University of Genova, Italy. From 2006 and 2009, he was mainly involved in a re-engineering project of a complex Postal system toward SOA.

In 2010, he win a post-doc position at DISI. Now (from december 2010), he is an Assistant Professor and collaborates with the Software engineering Research Group.

His current research interests include:

• SOA based applications development;
• Migration of legacy systems toward SOA;
• Web application analysis, maintenance and testing;
• Automatic program transformations;
• Re-engineering and Restructuring of complex systems;
• Empirical software engineering;
• Software Testing.
