Associate professor in Data-Driven Software Engineering
Together with Radu Apsan, Scientific Software Engineer at the Network Institute, visited the Plastic Surgery Department at Utrecht UMC to present and discuss how Generative AI can be successfully used in Science. The title of the talk is The new research partner: how generative AI is reshaping Science and its abstract is like follows: Generative ...
I just finished to give a keynote in the Software Engineering track of ICT.Open 2025. ICT.Open is the national conference for all ICT research disciplines and industries in the Netherlands, and it is organized by NWO, the Dutch Research Council. The contents of the keynote go along the following lines: the rise of Large Language ...
Yesterday I gave a seminar at a group of students and researchers of the Department of Pure and Applied Sciences at the University of Urbino. A big thank you to Marco Bernardo for the kind invitation and for hosting me in their department! The talk was mainly about our green and sustainable software, the education ...
In the last weeks I studied the recent ISO/IEC 21031:2024 standard about Software Carbon Intensity (SCI). Today I gave a lecture about the SCI to the students of my Green Lab course at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. The SCI standard is the result of a years-long effort of the Standards working group of the Green Software ...
Recently I am studying music production and playing around with Ableton Live 11. As a first step, I am dwelling into subtractive sound synthesis and trying to recreate well-known sounds from scratch as an exercise for refining my hear and technique (with very rough results at the moment!). At some point I had the enlightenment: ...
So, I am back from London where I attended the International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA 2023). I had many interesting conversations with many other researchers and roboticists around the world, and there is definitely a strong need of pushing further the boundaries of Software Engineering practices and techniques in robotics, ranging from better ...
Last week I presented the Network Institute Amsterdam and its related activities at the Aurora Research Conference in Amsterdam. Since May I am co-directing the Network Institute together with Ivar Vermeulen, Associate Professor at the Communication Science Department of the VU. The Network Institute studies the interaction between digital technology and society, or what is ...
Recently, together with other researchers across the world (US, Brasil, Netherlands), I am working on a very exciting research area called energy-efficient robotics software.Basically, here the whole point is that today robotic systems are more and more heavy on the software aspects (for example see the strong emphasis and prominence of the Robot Operating System). ...
Some weeks ago I gave a short presentation at my University about my experience on working in the context of EU grants. It contains tips and tricks for the before/during/after phases of a EU project. Enjoy! The H2020 experience from Ivano Malavolta
Last Monday I participated to the A-Mobile 2020 workshop, co-located with the international conference on Automated Software Engineering (ASE). I presented Android Runner, our Python framework for the automatic execution of measurement-based experiments on Android devices. The full paper is available here and below you can find the slides of the talk. Check out the ...
