Hello, I'm

Rosalia Tufano!

Since February 2020 I am a PhD student
at the Università della Svizzera Italiana,
in the beautiful Lugano.

What I Do

I am part of the Software Institute, more precisely of the SEART reserach group, excellently led by Prof. Gabriele Bavota, working on the DEVINTA project.

The purpose of my research is applying Machine Learning models to solve Software Engineering tasks.
