LUCA TRAINI

I am an Assistant Professor (RTDa) at the Department of Information Engineering, Computer Science and Mathematics of the University of L'Aquila (Univaq). I received the Ph.D. in Computer Science from Univaq in 2021 under the supervision of Prof. Vittorio Cortellessa.

My research interests lie in software performance engineering; in particular I'm interested in improving techniques and methodology in software performance assurance.
