  About me    
       
  I'm assistant professor in Computer Science at the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, University of Catania, Italy.

In November 2009 I was a visiting professor at the School of Computer Science, University of Nottingham (UK), where I worked with Prof. Natalio Krasnogor (link).

In 2006 I was a visiting researcher at the IBM-KAIST Bio-Computing Research Center, Department of Bio and Brain Engineering, at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), Republic of Korea, where I worked with Prof. Doheon Lee (link).

My research is focused on nature inspired and reverse engineering methodologies to tackle optimization, and computational biology problems. My main tool of interest are the Artificial Immune Systems, and primarily Clonal Selection Algorithms, which are inspired by the clonal selection principle.		    
       
     
       

  opt-IMMALG: optimization Immunological Algorithm    
       
  In a joint work with Giuseppe Nicosia (Nicosia's web site), we have developed an effecient, robust and effective clonal selection algorithm for combinatorial, numerical and biological problems.

To have major details about this algorithm and its applications, have a look to the page of the publications.
