I am a PhD student in Computer Science at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering of the University of Bologna (Italy). My main research interests include software engineering, pervasive systems, and multi-agent reinforcement learning. Particularly, In my PhD, I will follow a language-based engineering approach for Cyber-Physical Swarm—multi-agent systems in which system-wide goals are pursued with collective behaviours. My research ranges from multi-agent learning, distributed algorithms and engineering methodologies, with the goal of finding a systematic procedure to synthesise and deploy self-organising behaviours of predictable outcomes for CPSW. In this direction, I explore a collective reinforcement learning approach for program sketching and a distributed and reinforcement-based distributed scheduler for aggregate computing.
