Pietro Baroni

Pietro Baroni is a Full Professor of Computer Science at the Department of Information Engineering, University of Brescia. His research focuses on artificial intelligence, computational argumentation, uncertainty representation, decision support systems, automated diagnosis, and multi-agent systems. He has authored over 110 scientific papers and holds a patent in his field.

Key research interests include formal argumentation frameworks, causal reasoning, and their applications in healthcare robotics, energy systems, and decision-making. His work bridges theoretical foundations (e.g., abstract argumentation semantics) with practical implementations in domains like medical automation and sustainable engineering.

Notable contributions include advancing automated diagnosis methods for power grids, developing collaborative robotics for personalized medicine, and integrating user preferences into decision support systems. His recent publications emphasize explainable AI, energy efficiency optimization, and interdisciplinary applications of argumentation theory.

Baroni’s research has been applied to real-world challenges such as wastewater treatment optimization and environmental footprint assessment. He actively contributes to academic communities through editorial roles and conference organization, including the Logic and Argumentation (CLAR) conference series.
