Research Interests

My primary research interests are in natural language processing, particularly in natural language parsing and formal language models for natural language.  I am also interested in formal language theory.


Professional Background

I received a Ph.D. in computer science from University of Padua, Italy, in 1990.  Between 1990 and 1993 I first joined the Institute for Scientific and Technological Research, now Fondazione Bruno Kessler, in Trento, Italy, as a junior researcher, and later the Institute for Research in Cognitive Science (IRCS) at University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia PA, as a post-doctoral fellow.  Since 1994, I am joining the Department of Information EngineeringUniversity of Padua,  Italy, where at present I am a full professor.

I have served as chair of the European Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics (EACL) for years 2009-10.  I have served in the editorial boards of Transactions of the Association for Computational Linguistics, Research on Language and Computation, Computational Linguistics, and Grammars.  I have been a member of the standing committee of the Formal Grammar conference.  In 2001 I have served as co-chair of the program committee of the 39th Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL-2001) and as program committee chair of the 7th International Workshop on Parsing Technologies (IWPT-2001).
