Roberto VERDECCHIA

Biografia

Assistant Professor (RTDb - "senior") presso l'STLAB della Università degli Studi di Firenze.

I miei interessi di ricerca si concentrano sull'adozione di metodi empirici per migliorare lo sviluppo del software e l'evoluzione dei sistemi, con particolare attenzione ai campi dell'architettura del software, del debito tecnico, dell'efficienza energetica del software, del software testing e della istruzione nel campo del software.

Prima di far parte del STLAB, sono stato un ricercatore di post-dottorato presso il S2Group della Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam.

Possiedo un Doppio Dottorato di Ricerca, conseguito presso il Dipartimento di Informatica del Gran Sasso Science Institute e presso il S2Group della Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, ottenuto sotto la supervisione di Patricia Lago e Ivano Malavolta.
