I am an Emeritus Professor at Politecnico di Milano, where I have been Chair of Software Engineering, Rector's delegate for research, member of the Academic Senate and of the Board of Governors, and Department Chair. I am a Visiting Professor at Peking University. I held temporary or visiting positions at the University of Lugano, University of California at Los Angeles, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, University of Padova, ESLAI-Argentina, University of California at Santa Barbara, Technical University of Vienna, University of Klagenfurt.

I am an ACM Fellow, IEEE Fellow, Member of Academia Europaea, Member of the Italian Academy of Sciences (Istituto Lombardo). I have been awarded the 2015 ACM SIGSOFT Outstanding Research Award, the 2006 ACM SIGSOFT Distinguished Service Award, the 2018 IEEE-CS-TCSE Distinguished Educator Award. I have been on the evaluation board of several international research projects and institutions in Europe, Japan, and the USA.

I have been on the program committee of important conferences in the software engineering field, such as the ICSE and ESEC/FSE, for which I also served as Program and General Chair. I have given keynotes at several international conferences, including ESEC/FSE and ICSE. I have been the Editor in Chief of the ACM Trans. on Software Engineering and Methodology (from 2001 till 2006) and Associate Editor of numerous international journals, including Communications of the ACM, IEEE Trans. on Software Engineering, Science of Computer Programming.

My research has been focusing on software engineering and programming languages. I am especially interested in principles, methods, and tools to improve dependability of software and its ability to self-adapt and evolve, in the context of ubiquitous/pervasive computer applications. I co-authored over 200 papers and 8 books. I coordinated several national and international (EU funded) research projects and I have been awarded an Advanced Grant from the European Research Council.
