I am an Associate Professor at the University of Brescia, Italy. I am also the Chair of the local branch (node) of the Italian Cybersecurity National Laboratory, Honorary Senior Lecturer at Cardiff University (UK) and Visiting Fellow at the University of Southampton (UK).
I served as the inaugural Director of the Data Science Academy at Cardiff University until 2019, when I was one of the recipients of the Rita Levi-Montalcini Italian Ministerial Program for attracting talents living abroads. I was a member of the Expert Evaluation Group appointed by the Agency for the Evaluation of Research for the 2015-2019 edition of the Italian Research Quality Evaluation (VQR) exercise.
My research is about the security of artificial intelligence, in particular for what concerns learning and reasoning with uncertain and sparse data for supporting (cyber-threat) intelligence analysis. I co-authored more than 100 peer-reviewed papers, including several journal papers, and co-edited two books. More details on Google Scholar, DBLP, and Scopus.
I read the Digital Transformation course within the Master's Degree in Computer Engineering at the University of Brescia, with a particular emphasis on knowledge management issues and balancing the risks and opportunities of new technologies.
