I am a PhD Student at Universita’ dell’Insubria since October 2007.
I received my Bachelor in Computer Science and Engineering from the same university in July 2005 and my Advanced Master in december 2006.

I’m working at QualiPSo project since march 2007.

My research interests mainly focuses on the QualiPSo project aimed at defining methods, development processes, and business models to facilitate the use of open source Software (OSS) by the industry.
