Saverio Giallorenzo

Saverio Giallorenzo is an Assistant Professor (tenure-track) at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, University of Bologna. He is also a member of the Microservices Community communication group, OLAS team at INRIA (France), and the Italian National Laboratory for Cybersecurity (Bologna node). Previously, he was associated with the Focus team at INRIA (France), Concurrency and Logic group, DISI Jolie Lab, and SPACES groups.

Dr. Giallorenzo's research spans multiple areas in computer science with a focus on distributed systems and programming languages. His primary research interests include:

• Programming Languages
• Process Calculi
• Choreographic Programming
• Microservices
• Session Types
• Dynamic Adaptability
• Security
