Biosketch

I started my research in computational geometry (CG) focusing on visibility algorithms, and I quickly expanded my interests to a variety of topics such as optimal facility location, Voronoi diagrams and Delaunay triangulations, and more generally proximity graphs and geometric graphs. I am also interested in CG solutions for controlling modular robots and dealing with geographic information. I have worked in the past and keep working now a days with many of the most prestigious members of the CG community. I currently serve in the editorial board of CGTA, one of the most important CG journals, and I have also served in the scientific committees of the most important CG conferences (SoCG, EuroCG, EGC).
