Research

His main research focuses on several aspects of software engineering, particularly in software architecture, model-based software engineering, distributed systems composition, and software systems evolution, concentrating on technical debt. He published more than 40 papers in international conferences and journals.

He has been involved in several conferences and workshops program committees and has organized several workshops, such as MDE4SA@ICSA and FPVM@MODELS. In addition, he co-organized the second edition of the summer school entitled Software Engineering for Digital Society (SE4DS).

He is currently an associate editor of the Journal of Computer Languages and a special guest editor of the special issue Model-Driven Engineering for Software Architecture (MDE4SA) at the Elsevier Journal of Systems and Software. He is a reviewer for many journals, such as IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering, IEEE Software, IEEE Transactions on Services Computing, Science of Computer Programming, and Journal of Systems and Software.

He has worked on several European and national research projects, such as MATISSE, CHOReVOLUTION, CHOReOS, INCIPICT, and PRIN 2022 COBOL.
