Davide Di Ruscio

Davide Di Ruscio is a Full Professor at the Department of Information Engineering Computer Science and Mathematics of the University of L'Aquila (Italy), where he leads research in Model-Driven Engineering and Software Engineering. His work spans domain-specific modeling languages, model transformations, and recommender systems applied to open source software and autonomous systems.

His research interests focus on Model Driven Engineering, Model evolution, Open Source Software, and Recommender Systems, with recent work exploring LLM applications in code analysis and fairness engineering. Key application domains include service-based systems, autonomous systems, and hybrid polystore systems.

Di Ruscio actively contributes to the software engineering community through leadership roles in major conferences and journals. He serves on the steering committees of ICMT, SLE, SATTOSE, MiSE, and RoSE, and is on the editorial boards of SoSyM, IEEE Software, Journal of Object Technology, and IET Software. His work has been published in over 200 papers across top-tier venues.

He has contributed to numerous European and Italian research projects since 2006, applying MDE concepts to real-world systems. Current teaching includes Software Engineering for Autonomous Systems and Software Engineering for the Internet of Things, with office hours on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 11:30-13:30 at Edificio Alan Turing, Room 208.
