Computer Systems
Computer Systems is an active area of research at the Faculty of Informatics of USI Università della Svizzera italiana. Our faculty does work on computer architecture, distributed systems, mobile computing, cloud computing, service-oriented computing, security, autonomic computing, performance, embedded systems, self-adaptive systems, and other areas.
Walter Binder
Prof. Binder founded the Dynamic Analysis Group. His research interests include dynamic program analysis, concurrent and parallel programming, aspect-oriented programming, virtual machines, service-oriented computing, and cloud computing.
Antonio Carzaniga
Prof. Carzaniga interests lie in the general areas of distributed computing, computer networks and advanced communication services, and software engineering.
Patrick Thomas Eugster
Vice-Dean for Education
Patrick Eugster joined USI as a Full Professor of Computer Science in 2017. He is also an Adjunct Faculty at Purdue University (where he was a regular faculty member 2005-2016) and at TU Darmstadt (2014-2017). Patrick holds M.S. (1998) and Ph.D. (2001) degrees from EPFL. Patrick is interested in software systems, with a particular focus on distributed systems and programming models/languages, and the intersection between the two. He has co-authored over 120 scientific articles on these topics. His research has been awarded by various funding agencies and companies.
