Short Bio
I received an M.Sc. degree in Computer Science from the University of Salerno, at Salerno, Italy, in 2006 with the thesis: “An Interactive Approach To Hierarchical Clustering”. In 2010, I received a Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from the same University, with a thesis developed at Institute of Genomics and Bioinformatics, University of California Irvine, Irvine, USA, by the title: “Fast Search in Chemical Databases using Tanimoto Similarity Bounds and Clustering Techniques”. Since 2010, I work on a Bioinformatic project funded by AIRC (Italian Association for Cancer Research) in a collaboration with University of Chieti. My main areas of interest are Bioinformatics, Data Analysis, Pattern Recognition, Artificial Intelligence.
My CV is available in italian (last updated) and english.
Some Projects
MIDA
MIDA stands for Modular Interactive Dendrogram Analyzer. It is a modular architecture and software implementation for Matlab, allowing the analysis of hierarchical trees trough user interaction and the development of ad hoc modules. MIDA also features a number of modules written by me and other people. There’s a dedicated page here for MIDA.

GBA WinS is a Windowing System for the Game Boy Advance, featuring MS Windows-like appearence, a fast character input system, cooperative multitasking, a dedicated API etc. It has a 2 layers architectures, with the basic layer directly interacting with hardware (no 3rd party lib used). It was also ported to Nintendo DS by volunteers. An interested community of some thousands people followed the project site. You can find it here.
Paco e Bianca
Paco e Bianca is a comic strip (in italian) published in the form of a blog. It is realized through a cheap Wacom tablet and some patience. Having a decent number of readers (when updated), some strips were also published on the italian free magazine G.A.Z. The home of Paco e Bianca is at www.pacoebianca.it. In 2008 PeB characters were selected to appear on t-shirts of the 2009 summer collection of Zona Brera as winners of the Zonabreralab annual contest.
