Objectives
Being able to adapt to different working and social environments, my main goal is to find a productive group able to offer me a knowledge and experience. My long term perspectives focus on management with an eye on marketing strategies. My cosmopolitan characteristics greatly fit international environments.
Work experience
Expert Engineer, Laboratoire d’Informatique de Grenoble; Grenoble, France; 01 Feb. 2008 -
Design and development of new interaction framework
My current position aim to the development of a new architecture to experiment new interaction techniques with mobile devices. The project consists on the design and the realization of a new framework to implement new “Post-WIMP” interaction techniques.
Technical skills: Object oriented programming (Objective-C), Object oriented programming (UML), Object oriented programming (Python), iPhone platform programming (UIKit).

Education and Training
Ph.D. Student, Université de Grenoble; Grenoble; France; 01 Feb. 2008 -
New interaction techniques for mobile devices
Currently enrolled with a Phd program at UJF (Universite Joseph Fourier: http://www.ujf-grenoble.fr), exploring new interaction techniques with mobile devices
Studying new interaction techniques is one of the main subjects of study for the Human-Computer Interaction team (http://iihm.imag.fr) at the Grenoble Computer Science lab (http://www.liglab.fr).
Those techniques have recently marked the commercial success of commercial mobile devices and represent an obliged step toward the development of cutting edge user friendly systems.
The main goal of my studies is actually the study of existing interaction techniques and the conception of new ones.
Achieved the second level degree (Master of Science), Politecnico di Torino; Sept. 2005 – Avril 2008
The second level degree gained at Politecnico di Torino focused on network architectures and protocols, IT infrastructures and distribute programming.
Achieved the second level degree (Bac+5), ENSIMAG-Grenoble INP; Feb. 2006 – Sept. 2007
The “Master Ingenieur” at ENSIMAG focused on the knowledge of Computer Interaction techniques, Image manipulation and recognition and Virtual Reality basics. It is the result of a double degree program proposed by the Politecnico di Torino.
Achieved the first level degree, Politecnico di Torino; Sept. 2002 – Oct. 2005
The first level concentrate on the basis of the engineering (Mathematics, Physics) with a whole introduction to the computer hardware and a deep analysis of Operative Systems and advanced programming algorithms.
Scientific Degree, “Liceo Scientifico Statale E. Fermi”, 2002
Graduated with Scientific Degree for Secondary School being part of a experimental program to integrate the standard studies with computer programming from the first year of study. (Piano Nazionale Informatico).
