Maurizio Patrignani is a Full Professor of Computer Science at the Department of Civil, Computer and Aeronautical Engineering at Roma Tre University, where he has served since May 2017. Since November 2022, he has also held the position of Chair of the Computer Science and Engineering Faculty Board. His academic journey began with a "Laurea" degree in Electronic Engineering from the University of Rome "La Sapienza" in 1996, followed by a Ph.D. in Computer Science from the same institution in 2001. Patrignani's research spans multiple areas within computer science, with a strong focus on graph-related disciplines. His primary research interests include Computer Networks, Graph Drawing, Information Visualization, and Computational Geometry. He has developed expertise in Dynamic Graph Drawing, Orthogonal Drawings, Planarity and Planar Graphs, Upward Planarity, and Data Center Networking. His work often bridges theoretical computer science with practical applications, particularly in network visualization and analysis. The analysis of Patrignani's recent publications reveals a consistent focus on graph theory and its applications. His work demonstrates expertise in planar graph embeddings, orthogonal drawings, and upward planarity. Recent publications show increasing attention to practical applications of graph theory in network visualization, data center networking, and route planning. His research combines theoretical algorithm design with experimental validation and user studies, reflecting a comprehensive approach to solving complex problems in graph drawing and network analysis. Patrignani has been actively involved in numerous research projects throughout his career, including EU-funded initiatives like DELIS (Dynamically Evolving, Large Scale Information Systems) and GraDR (Graph Drawings and Representations), as well as national projects funded by MIUR. His collaborative work spans multiple institutions and researchers across Europe and beyond, demonstrating his significant role in the international computer science community. He has served on numerous program committees for major conferences in graph drawing and visualization, including the International Symposium on Graph Drawing (GD) where he was co-chair for GD 2008 and GD 2012. His organizational contributions extend to the Summer Workshop on Graph Drawing (SWGD) where he has been a member of the organizing committee since 2021. Patrignani's teaching portfolio at Roma Tre University includes courses on Algorithms and Data Structures, Computer Networks, Information Visualization, and Big Data Algorithms.
