Marco Guazzone

Researcher of Computer Science

University of Piemonte Orientale

Welcome!

I am a Researcher at the Computer Science Institute of the Department of Sciences and Technological Innovation at the University of Piemonte Orientale (Italy) since 2015.

My current research interests include distributed computing systems and paradigms as well as digital forensics.

Since 2006, I am a member of the DCS group led by Prof. Cosimo Anglano, and since 2017, I am a member of the CINI’s Cyber Security National Laboratory.

Short Biography

I was born in Alessandria (Italy) in 1976. From 1996 to 2007, I worked for several IT companies. On July 2007, I took my Laurea degree summa cum laude in Computer Science at the University of Piemonte Orientale. On March 2012, I got my Ph.D. in Science and High Technology (spec. Computer Science) at the University of Torino. From 2012 to 2015, I held postdoc positions at the University of Piemonte Orientale and at the University of Torino. From 2015 to 2019, I was a Researcher type A at the University of Piemonte Orientale. Since 2019, I am a Researcher type B (tenure-track Assistant Professor) at the University of Piemonte Orientale.
