Andrea Di Sorbo

Andrea Di Sorbo is an Assistant Professor at the University of Sannio, Italy, specializing in software engineering with a focus on software maintenance, evolution, security, and blockchain applications. His academic career demonstrates strong engagement with the international software engineering community through publications and service roles.

Dr. Di Sorbo received his Ph.D. in Information Technology from the University of Sannio in 2018, followed by a postdoctoral fellowship at the same institution. His educational background established the foundation for his research in empirical software engineering approaches.

His research interests span multiple critical areas in modern software development, with particular emphasis on Software Maintenance and Evolution, Empirical Software Engineering, and Software Security and Privacy. Additional specializations include Mining Software Repositories, Blockchain-oriented Software Engineering, and Text analysis and summarization of Software artifacts. These interests reflect both traditional software engineering concerns and emerging challenges in blockchain and security domains.

Analysis of his publication record from 2020-2025 reveals a clear evolution toward blockchain applications and security concerns, while maintaining empirical methods as his research foundation. His work bridges theoretical software engineering principles with practical applications in UAV systems, smart contracts, and fairness in complex software systems, demonstrating both breadth and increasing specialization in critical emerging areas.

Dr. Di Sorbo has served as a guest editor for Frontiers in Big Data and Information and Software Technology journals, and as a reviewer for major software engineering journals including TSE, EMSE, JSS, IST, SCP, and JSEP.

His service to the academic community is substantial, with program committee membership for prestigious conferences including ICSE, ASE, ARES, MOBILESoft, and SEAA. He has also served as Workshop Co-Chair for NLBSE 2023 and Session Chair for multiple NLBSE events, demonstrating leadership in specialized software engineering communities.
