Antinisca Di Marco

Antinisca Di Marco is an Associate Professor in the Department of Applied Clinical Science and Biotechnology at the University of L'Aquila, Italy. She has held this position since October 2017, having previously served as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science from 2008 to September 2017.

Her research spans Software Engineering with specific focus on extra-functional properties and adaptation mechanisms. Key research areas include:

• Software modeling and performance analysis
• Performance antipatterns and model-based reconfiguration
• Context-aware systems and non-functional analysis
• Bio-inspired paradigms for self-adaptive systems
• Bioinformatics (since 2013)

Dr. Di Marco's recent publications demonstrate a strong interdisciplinary approach, bridging software engineering with healthcare applications, particularly in mobile health systems for cancer treatment monitoring and symptom management. Her work also addresses fundamental challenges in context-aware mobile systems, performance optimization, and wireless sensor networks.

She has received significant recognition including:

• Best Paper Award at FASE 2010 for performance modeling of context-aware mobile systems
• Best Poster Award at ECSA 2010 for bio-inspired self-adaptive paradigms

Dr. Di Marco has advised multiple PhD students and has been actively involved in numerous research projects including iCARE (ERC Proof of Concept), VISION ERC, and CONNECT FET. She serves as Director of the University of L'Aquila Node of the InfoLife CINI Laboratory, focusing on Bioinformatics and Systems Biology research.
