Dottorato di Ricerca (PhD) in Applied Mathematics and Computer
Science at the University of Naples (Italy).
In 1992, he has visited the
University Eotvos Lorand in Budapest (Hungary). From 1992 to 1994,
he has visited the Department of Computer Science at the University
of Massachusetts at Amherst (USA) working in the team with Prof.

the Facoltà di Scienze MM. FF. e NN (School of Mathematical,
Physical and Natural Sciences) of the Università di Salerno. He is a
member of the ``Dipartimento di Informatica ed Applicazioni''
(Computer Science and Applications department) of the Università di
Salerno since 1995.
Since 1996, he (with Alberto
Negro) funded and co-directs the ISISLab laboratory within the
Department. ISISLab has been hosting, until now, the research
activity of 10 PhD students, more than 20 collaborators (grants,
fellowships) and provided support for more than 120 thesis (Bachelor
