About
I am Assistant Professor (Tenure Track - RTDb) in Computer Science at University of Milan-Bicocca, and a member of the CRISP Research Centre, Italy.
Current Positions
- [2020-present] Deputy Director of the CRISP Research Centre, Italy
- [2016-present] Assistant Professor at University of Milan-Bicocca
- [2010-present] Member of CRISP Research Centre, Milan, Italy
Past Positions
- [2011-2016] PostDoc at University of Milan-Bicocca
- [2017-2018] Partner at TabulaeX Ltd (formerly spin-off company of Unimib) working on BI and Big Data Analytics. TabulaeX is now part of the Burning Glass Group
- [2015-2016] Visiting Researcher at King’s College London, AI Planning Group, UK
My research interests include
- Artificial Intelligence: eXplainable AI, interpretable models, local and global interpretation, explanation through symbolic approaches
- Data Science: data quality and data cleaning, vector-space models, word-embeddings, ontology learning, Graph-database algorithms
- AI Planning [formerly]: domain-independent planning, temporal continuous planning, planning in mixed discrete-continuous domains, planning in hybrid domain
Research team AI@CRISP-UNIMIB
“If you want to go fast go alone. If you want to go far go together”. Proud to work with brilliant phd students and postdocs I have the honour to (co)supervise
- Lorenzo Malandri, Postdoc in AI and Computational Linguistics, Dept of Statistics and Quantitative Methods
- Navid Nobani, Industrial PhD Student in XAI (Digital Attitude), Dept of Informatics at Unimib
- Andrea Seveso, PhD Student, Dept of Informatics at Unimib

(Co)-Developed Tools
- UPMurphi is a tool for planning with linear and nonlinear continuous PDDL+ models with processes and events. It also handles huge state spaces through a disk-based algorithm
- DiNo A Planner built on top of UPMurphi that employs graph-based heuristics to speed-up the plan synthesis (leaded by “Planning Group” at King’s College London)
- GraphDBLP is a tool that models (and enriches) DBLP as a graph database for performing graph-based queries and social network analyses
