Curriculum vitae
Research
I have been working for more than 20 years in the areas of distributed
systems and software engineering, with a special interest in formal
methods for concurrent and distributed systems.
Current research interests:
- formal verification of
cryptographic protocols and security-critical software
- static analysis and software model checking (of concurrent and
distributed software)
- model-driven development and automated generation of safe/secure
code from formal protocol descriptions
Main recent/current research projects:
Selected publications (from DBLP)
All publications (with some local downloadable copies) from PORTO (Institutional Repository)
Technical Reports
Teaching
I teach Distributed systems
programming (MS) and Formal verification of software
and of concurrent and distributed systems (PhD).
Current PhD students and Post-docs
- Denis Makartetskiy (PhD student)
- Matteo Avalle (PhD student)
- Piergiuseppe Bettassa Copet (PhD student)
To be informed about available PhD positions and internships on formal
methods at my Institution, please

The deadline for PhD applications is normally September. If interested in a PhD
position, please contact me earlier.
Collaborations
Some of my current collaborators are with the IEIIT, an Institute of
the Italian National Research Council (CNR) with which I cooperate:
Some former students and Post-docs
- Alfredo Pironti worked on formal methods applied to security protocols. He is currently a Post-doc at Microsoft Research - INRIA Joint Centre
- Paolo Maggi worked on formal methods applied to mobile agents and network security.
He is currently a software engineer at Nice, Italy.
- Radu Iosif worked on software model checking of Java programs. He is currently
a researcher at CNRS-Verimag, France.
- Flavio Lerda worked on distributed model checking (PSpin). His is currently a
PhD candidate at Carnegie Mellon University.
