About me
Hi! I'm a PhD student in Computer Science Education at USI (Lugano, Switzerland). I work at the LuCE research group under the excellent supervision of professor Matthias Hauswirth. While I'm fascinated by many CS topics, I have a particular interest in effective education and good teaching. Here you can find a copy of my CV. My Goodreads profile contains a list of books I've read.
