Giuseppe Santucci is an Associate Professor at the Department of Computer, Control and Management Engineering Antonio Ruberti at Sapienza University of Rome. He teaches courses on Fundamentals of Computer Science, Software Engineering, and Visual Analytics. His office is located in Room B218 at Via Ariosto 25, Rome, and his contact email is santucci@diag.uniroma1.it. Dr. Santucci's research focuses on Visual Analytics, Information Visualization, Human-Computer Interaction, and Information Retrieval. His work spans theoretical aspects of visual query languages for semantic models to practical applications in visual analytics for cybersecurity, cryptocurrencies, and deep learning explainability. He has published over 130 articles in international journals and conferences, demonstrating his significant contributions to these fields. His recent publications show a strong trend toward applying visual analytics to increasingly complex domains including cybersecurity, cryptocurrencies, and explainable AI. The work demonstrates an evolution from theoretical foundations of visual query systems to practical applications that help users understand complex data and systems. His research bridges the gap between theoretical computer science and practical user-centered solutions. Dr. Santucci has received notable recognition including: IEEE VizSec 2018 Best Paper Award Human-Computer Interaction Cybersecurity Awards 2018 He actively mentors students through thesis projects focused on information visualization and visual analytics. His PROMISE project provides a framework for students to engage in cutting-edge research in information retrieval and visual analytics. He has supervised work on topics including visual evaluation techniques, visual mappings optimization, and user studies for Infovis systems. Dr. Santucci leads the A.WA.RE (Advanced Visualization & Visual Analytics REsearch) group at Sapienza University. This group conducts research on visual analytics tools for information retrieval evaluation, cybersecurity analysis, and deep learning explainability. Their work includes developing frameworks like CryptoComparator for cryptocurrency analysis and BUCEPHALUS for cybersecurity platform analysis.
