I am a Tenure-Track Assistant Professor at the Instituto Superior Técnico, Universidade de Lisboa, Portugal, and a senior researcher at INESC-ID Lisboa.

Previously, I was a Postdoctoral Researcher in Computer Science at the KRDB Research Centre for Knowledge and Data (Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, Italy). From February to August 2020, I was also Visiting Scholar at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) of the University of California, San Diego (UCSD).

I hold a PhD in Computer Science, earned cum laude at the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, and a Master’s Degree in Mathematics, earned cum laude at Università degli Studi di Milano. My scientific interests involve computational logic and Business Process Management (BPM): specifically, my research activity focuses on theoretical and methodological aspects of mathematical logic and formal methods for verification of complex (business) processes with data. I am a member of the Program Committee of several international conferences, such as BPM 2023, IJCAI 2023, KR 2023 and ECAI 2023. My PhD dissertation won three prestigious awards: the 2022 Best Italian PhD Thesis in Theoretical Computer Science Award given by the Italian Chapter of EATCS, the 2022 Best BPM Dissertation Award given by the BPM Association, and the 2023 CADE Bill McCune PhD Award in Automated Reasoning given by CADE Inc.

Main Research Areas

Formal Verification, Automated Reasoning, BPM, Computational Logic, Model Checking, Artificial Intelligence, Mathematical Logic, Theoretical Computer Science
