Hello! I’m a PhD candidate in Informatics at Università della Svizzera italiana. Since October 2023, l am part of the Software Institute and member of the SEART group under the supervision of Prof. Gabriele Bavota.

My research focuses on customizing LLM-based code recommender systems to boost their usefulness and performance when exploited by specific developers (e.g., a newcomer having little programming knowledge) and in specific contexts (e.g., niche programming languages). You can find more information on this poster.

Previously, I received my Master’s degree in Software System Security and in Software and Data Engineering defending my thesis entitled Investigating the Usage of Data Augmentation for Code Review Automation. I obtained a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from the University of Molise, where I successfully defended my thesis on Automatic Refactoring of Dockerfiles.
