Curriculum

I received my master degree in Computer and Automation Engineering from the University of Perugia in 2014. In the same department I got my Ph.D in 2018 in the group of graph drawing lead by prof. Giuseppe Liotta. I am currently a Post-Doc researcher at University of Arizona, Tucson (USA) in the research group of prof. Stephen Kobourov. My research interests include graph drawing, information visualization, algorithm engineering, and computational geometry.
