Antonio Piccinno
Antonio Piccinno is currently Associate Professor of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) at the Computer Science Department of the University of Bari Aldo Moro (UNIBA). He received the Laurea Degree in Computer Science with full marks and honors from the University of Bari in 2001. In March 2005 he got the PhD in Computer Science from UNIBA, discussing a thesis titled "Software environments for supporting End-User Development".
Since April 2005, he worked at the Computer Science Department of UNIBA, first as research fellow, next as Assistant Professor and now as Associate Professor.
He is founding member of the IVU (Interaction, Visualization, Usability & UX) Lab of the University of Bari, where he coordinates research on the interplay between Human-Computer Interaction and Software Engineering though techniques of End-User Development.
During January-March 2008 he has been visiting scientist at the Center for LifeLong Learning and Design (L3D) - Department of Computer Science and Institute of Cognitive Science, University of Colorado at Boulder (USA).
He has performed several shorter visits to international research institutions, collaborating with colleagues that are co-authors of some of his publications.
Research activities
His research interests focus on Human-Computer Interaction, Software Engineering, End-User Development, Internet of Things, Smart Environments, Visual Interactive Systems, Component-Based Software Development, WWW Interfaces, Multimodal and Multimedia Interaction.
He is, or has been, involved in the design, development and evaluation of software frameworks and methodologies for applying End-User Development in various domains and context, recently in ambient intelligence applied to the smart home.
He is co-author of about 90 papers published in journals, international conferences and collections.
Teaching activity
Currently, he is teaching Software Engineering, a basic course for undergraduates in Computer Science of the University of Bari, and Cloud Computing for graduate students in Computer Science of the University of Bari. He taught several courses for both undergraduate and graduate Computer Science curricula, for undergraduate Business Economics curricula, and for the PhD Program in Computer Science.
He has been supervisor of about 70 bachelor and master’ thesis, has supervised one PhD student and was and is in the evaluation committee of several PhD students.
