Lorenzo Laudadio

Lorenzo Laudadio is a PhD Student in Computer and Systems Engineering at the Politecnico di Torino (Department of Control and Computer Science - DAUIN) since 2023, with an expected completion in 2026. Additionally, he holds the role of a Lecturer and/or teaching assistant within the same department, contributing to courses like Business Information Systems and Visualizing Quantitative Information.

• Education: Master's in Computer Engineering (2023) with a thesis on privacy-oriented software development.
• Research Group: Software Engineering Research Group (Softeng Polito).

Research Focus: Application of gamification to enhance web and mobile application testing, particularly end-to-end testing. This involves integrating game-design mechanics (leaderboards, scores, customization) into testing workflows to improve engagement and performance, addressing the repetitive nature of testing activities. His work also intersects with GDPR compliance and accessible development through tool creation.

Key Research Themes: The articles co-authored by Laudadio reflect trends in gamification-driven testing tools (GAppium, ScoutDroid), privacy compliance (MINOS), and data visualization in software engineering research. His work bridges theoretical frameworks with practical implementations, often involving tool prototyping for real-world application.

Academic Contributions: As a course collaborator, he has supported teaching across multiple academic years (2023/24 to 2025/26), primarily in Computer Science Engineering and Management Engineering programs. His involvement spans curriculum design, student mentorship, and empirical research guidance.
