Carmine Gravino is a Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Salerno, Italy, with an extensive publication record spanning over two decades from 2001 to 2025. His academic career demonstrates consistent research productivity with numerous publications in top software engineering venues including IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering, Empirical Software Engineering, and Information and Software Technology. Gravino's research spans multiple domains within software engineering and its intersection with emerging technologies. His primary research interests include software measurement (particularly COSMIC functional size measurement), requirements engineering, code quality analysis, and the application of artificial intelligence to software engineering problems. In recent years, he has expanded his research into educational technology, focusing on the development of educational metaverses and the integration of generative AI in learning environments. His work also extends to healthcare applications, particularly in diabetes prediction using machine learning techniques. The trajectory of Gravino's recent publications reveals a strategic evolution from traditional software engineering topics toward the integration of cutting-edge AI technologies. His 2023-2025 works prominently feature large language models applied to functional size measurement, requirements engineering, and code analysis. Simultaneously, he has developed a significant research stream in educational technology, creating frameworks for educational metaverses that incorporate ethical considerations for emotion recognition and AI integration. His healthcare-related work demonstrates interdisciplinary collaboration, applying software engineering rigor to medical prediction problems. Gravino maintains an active research group with frequent collaborations, particularly with Filomena Ferrucci (69 joint publications), Genny Tortora (33), Giuseppe Scanniello (30), Vincenzo Deufemia (29), and Michele Risi (29). His work appears in both journal and conference venues, with a strong emphasis on empirical validation through controlled experiments and case studies. His research has practical applications in software project management, requirements engineering processes, and educational technology development.
