LUCA TRAINI

I am a postdoctoral researcher 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.

My current research work includes:

  • Ethnographic research on software performance engineering;
  • The impact of software maintanance on software performance;
  • AI techniques for performance debugging;
  • Software performance testing;
