Overview
- October 1997, Laurea degree in Computer Science from
University of Pisa, Italy.
- December 2003, Master Degree in Engineering from University
of Pisa, Italy.
- November 2002-current, 2° year Ph.D. in Computer
Science at University of Pisa.
My PhD advisor is Prof. Paolo Ferragina and my
research activity is actually within the field of web search engines
and
specifically on the design of algorithms and data structures for
the efficient computation and update of PageRank values
of massive web
graphs, as well on the design and engineering of novel algorithms for
clustering and labeling Search Engine
Snippets (a la' Vivisimo).

Search Engine Activities
Since 1997 I work in the Search Engine field. I was the chief architect
of many products, such as:
- Spidering system, used by Arianna
- Automatic Directory, used by Arianna, Fireball
- Audio Search Engine, used by Tiscali, Jumpy, CiaoWeb,
Arianna
- Video Search Engine, used by Tiscali, Jumpy, CiaoWeb
- Image Search Engine, used by Tiscali, Jumpy, CiaoWeb
- Usenet Search Engine, used by Arianna
- Pseudo Real time news engine, used by Arianna, Corriere
della Sera, La Repubblica
- Chat & Search Engine on IRC, used by Tiscali,
EdisonTel
- Shopping Comparison Engine, used by Tiscali, SuperEva
- Web Search Engine, used by Tiscali, SuperEva, Interfree,
