I am a member of the board of the Informatics Course at the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Calabria. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Biographic Notes ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I received my "Laurea" degree in "Ingegneria Informatica" (Computer Science Engineering) cum laude in 2002, from the University of Calabria, Italy. My thesis received the ASFOR-SMAU award E-Talenti dellE-Learning” promoted by the Italian Ministry of Innovation and Technologies. I received my PhD in Computer Science and Mathematics in 2006 with a thesis on "Disjunctive Logic Programming: Optimization Issues and enhancements for Ontologies." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Scientific Research Activities ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My research activity ranges over several topics related to the areas of Logic Programming, Artificial Intelligence. I’m interested in declarative logic-based languages, including the practical aspects of Systems and Applications Development and Software Engineering. I had the opportunity to focus my attention on: Answer Set Programming, Ontologies, Deductive Databases, Data Integration, Software Engineering, E-Toursim and E-Learning. I have proposed language extensions and evaluation techniques for ASP and the application of the ASP in real-world settings. I proposed and developed: language extensions for specifying ontologies in ASP; hybrid languages ​​and libraries for the integration of logic programming and object-oriented programming; techniques for data integration and consistent query answering. I have developed real-world applications and industrial systems based on ASP. The results are the subject of several scientific publications in international journals relevant in the field of computer science, conference proceedings, book chapters and an encyclopedia chapter. ------------- Scientific Publications (some bibliographic data) ------------- I have authored or coauthored more than 100 publications including journals (23), encyclopedia chapters, conferences, and workshops including the the Artificial Intelligence Journal, Journal of Algorithms, Journal of the Theory and Practice of Logic Programming, Journal of Logic and Computation, Journal of Applied Logic, IJCAI, KR, ICLP, LPNMR, JELIA, PADL.

I have held positions of professor and teaching assistant at the University of Calabria in the degree course in Computer Science. I have supervised several master thesis (in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, and Mathematics). I'm/was also supervisor several PhD students and more than 60 students of Computer Science, Mathematics, and Engineering at the University of Calabria. --- Student Awards --- • One of my students, Dr. Carmine Dodaro, received the award for the best Italian Master thesis in artificial intelligence from the Italian Association for Artificial Intelligence (see https://sites.google.com/a/ aixia.it/vincitori-premi/Home). • The WASP system, developed under my supervision during the PhD studies of Dr. Carmine Dodaro, was awarded during the Sixth edition of the ASP Competition (First place on the "Marathon Track" and second place in the "Regular Track"). ------------- Teaching abroad ------------- I was teaching students of bachelor, Master and PhD studying in foreign countries: • Vienna University of Technology, Austria - "Processing of Declarative Knowledge" for Master students of the TU Vienna • University of Kentucky, KY, USA - "Tools for Application Development with ASP" for PhD students • Miami University in Ohio USA - Several editions of the Summer School on "Knowledge Representation and Reasoning"
