Projects
I focus my career upon three fundamental axis:
- Scientific Computing and Systems Modelling
- Performance Evaluation and Distributed Systems
- Data Representation and Visual Exploration
Research
However, I am also interested in the following topics:
- Performance Evaluation in general
- Markov Chains
- Complex System Modelling
- Peer-to-peer networks
- Structured Formalisms and translations
- Global Software Development and analysis
- Software Performance Engineering
- Stochastic Automata Networks
- Information Visualization
- Relations and patterns discovery within large data spaces
- Programming and new methodologies, mapping to formalisms
- Coding and scripting
Other interests
When I am not involved in research projects, I like reading about:
- Science fiction
- Science in general (Carl Sagan, Richard Dawkings, etc)
- Mathematical puzzles and statistics
- Stephen King, Jeff Lindsay, J. R. R. Tolkien
- Econometrics (Freakonomics)
- Popularization of Science, new results for large audiences
- Interesting biographies
