About me

I am currently a Ph. D. Student at DEIS, Università di Bologna. I am working on a project funded by the EU (SOCS), about logic based multi-agent systems. My research interestes are:

autonomous agents and multi-agent systems

computational logics, logic programming, abduction

social aspects of multi-agent systems and semantics of agent communication

interaction protocols definition languages, properties of such languages

Recommendation Systems

My personal interests, other than research, are music, mountain (summer and winter), scuba diving and reading.
