I am a Research Scientist at CNR-ISTI (Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche - Istituto di Scienza e Tecnologia dell'Informazione "A. Faedo", Pisa, Italy - http://www.isti.cnr.it).

 

I received my Ph. D. in Computer Engineering from the University of Florence, Italy, in 2011. During the Ph. D., I was working as system engineer at General Electric Transportation Systems (GETS) s.p.a., a world leading railway signalling company.

 

My current research interests are primarily: applications of natural language processing (NLP) techniques to requirements engineering (RE); user and customer interviews in RE; RE education and training; empirical formal methods and empirical software engineering. 

 

I am part of the EU DESIRA project on sustainability, and the EU 4SECURail project on formal methods for railways. I have recently been WP leader of the European Project ASTRail, funded by the Shift2Rail Programme, and I participated in other EU projects, such as Learn PAd, about business process models applied to public administration procedures.  

​

I serve in the PC of ICSE, IEEE RE, REFSQ, AIRE, I am one of the organisers of the NLP4RE workshop, I have been local organiser of REFSQ 2020, and will be program co-chair of REFSQ 2023.
