Matteo Esposito

Matteo Esposito is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Oulu, Finland, where he works in the M3S Cloud Group. His research focuses on the intersection of Large Language Models, Software Quality, Software Maintenance, and Software Architecture. Prior to his academic career, he served as R&D Vice Director at an Italian cybersecurity firm.

Matteo earned his European Label Ph.D. in "Computer Science, Control, and Geoinformation" from the University of Rome, Tor Vergata, where he also completed his MSc Degree in Computer Science Engineering with highest honors (110 cum Laude) in October 2021.

His primary research interests span several cutting-edge domains in software engineering:

• Secure Software Engineering and Security
• Artificial Intelligence and Large Language Models applications in software development
• Software Quality, Maintenance, and Architecture
• Quantum Software Engineering, a rapidly emerging field bridging classical and quantum computing

Matteo's recent publications demonstrate a strong focus on applying AI techniques, particularly Large Language Models, to various software engineering challenges. His work spans multiple domains including defect prediction, security analysis, microservice architecture analysis, and quantum computing integration. A significant trend in his research is the application of network analysis methods to understand software architecture evolution and identify potential degradation points in microservice systems.

Matteo is actively involved in the academic community, serving on program committees for major software engineering conferences including ESEM, ECSA, and ICSA. He has also organized workshops, such as the First International Workshop on Quantum Software Engineering: The Next Evolution (QSE-NE) co-located with FSE 2024.

As a passionate educator, Matteo has served as a Teaching Assistant at the University of Rome "Tor Vergata" since 2019, instructing courses in Software Engineering and Algorithms. He is committed to promoting tech literacy, digital inclusion, and community-driven technological empowerment.

Matteo is a member of the M3S Cloud Group at the University of Oulu, where he collaborates with researchers on cloud computing, microservices, and software architecture topics. His work bridges theoretical research with practical applications in mission-critical systems.
