Computer scientist, teacher, and entrepreneur, active since the 1990's in the field of soft computing theory and applications.
Soft Computing, also known as computational intelligence, differs from conventional (hard) computing in that, unlike hard computing, it is tolerant of imprecision, uncertainty, partial truth, and approximation. The guiding principle of soft computing is to exploit the tolerance for imprecision, uncertainty, partial truth, and approximation to achieve tractability, robustness and low solution cost.
The main components of soft computing are fuzzy logic, neural computing, and evolutionary computation.
My commitment, both as a scientist and as a computer software professional and entrepreneur, is to bridge the gap between theory and applications, academic and industrial research, and to create value from every problem.
I speak fluently Italian, English, Portuguese, and French.
