Gianluca Aguzzi
Postdoctoral Researcher and Adjunct Professor at the University of Bologna.
// Short bio
I’m fascinated by all things related to emergence and complexity. My research focuses on engineering collective adaptive systems.
In this field, I am interested in both manual techniques like aggregate computing and multi-agent cooperative reinforcement learning.
Recently, I’ve started exploring the application of foundational models in software engineering, from requirement management to development.
Beyond research, I’m a huge Scala enthusiast, and in my free time (if it even exists!), I use my Nintendo Switch to unwind and reflect.
