Short bio
I received my PhD in Mathematics from the Scuola Normale Superiore of Pisa. I have been Visiting Scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Visiting Professor at the Johns Hopkins University and the University of Melbourne. I have been Assistant Professor of Numerical Analysis at the University of Torino, and Associate Professor of Computer Science at the University of Eastern Piedmont. I am currently Professor of Computer Science at the University of Pisa and research associate at the Institute of Informatics and Telematics of the National Research Council. In 2022 I was awarded the ACM Paris Kanellakis Theory and Practice Award for my contributions to the field of compressed indices. Being a mathematician by formation, I am particular proud that one of my more "applicative" papers was awarded the 2023 Test-of-Time Award of the European Symposium on Algoritms.
