Full professor and director of the Giovanni degli Antoni Department of Computer Science at the University of Milan. He teaches courses in Security and Privacy, Operating Systems Design (Operating Systems I), and Fundamentals of Digital Social Media, and directs the Security and Networks Laboratory (LASER) at the same university. He was director of the Master's Degree in Cybersecurity and President of the Degree Course in Systems and Network Security. One of the first Italian professors to address the issue of cybersecurity, his research focuses on Digital Systems Security, Computer Forensics, Ethical Aspects of Cybersecurity, and Theoretical Foundations of Computer Science.

Full professor of Computer Science, he conducts research in the field of data science, with particular focus on natural language processing, machine learning, and artificial intelligence at the Giovanni Degli Antoni Department of Computer Science at the University of Milan. He teaches Natural Language Processing and Reinforcement Learning at the same university and coordinates the Data Science Research Center at the University of Milan. He is currently involved in several international research projects on digital humanities. He was one of the promoters of the Master's Degree Course in Data Science and Economics and the Master's Degree in Data Science for Economics, Business, and Finance.

Research Fellow at the Department of Computer Science – University of Milan and adjunct professor at the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart (Advanced calculus and stochastic processes). After obtaining a master's degree in physics with honors (specializing in computational matter structure) from the University of Milan-Bicocca, he obtained a Ph.D. in Physics and Nanosciences from the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia with a thesis on ab-initio calculations on the spectroscopy of carbon nanostructures (graphene nanoribbons). He then graduated with honors in Data Science and Economics (LM) from the University of Milan. His research interests focus on cybersecurity, artificial intelligence with a particular interest in explainable artificial intelligence (XAI), and information theory.
