Maurizio Leotta

Assistant Professor in Computer Science (INF/01)


I am Assistant Professor, from 2018, at the University of Genova, Italy. In 2022, I gained the Italian National Scientific Qualification for the position of Associate Professor. I am author of more than 100 research papers published in international journals and conferences (full list below). I received the PhD in Computer Science from the University of Genova in 2015, defending a thesis on Automated Web Testing under the supervision of Prof. Filippo Ricca and revised by Prof. Massimiliano di Penta (Università del Sannio, Italy) and Prof. Ali Mesbah (University of British Columbia, Canada).

My main research interests are in Software Engineering, with a particular focus on the following themes: Test Automation (main research topic, collaborating with Prof. Paolo Tonella - USI, Switzerland), Empirical Software Engineering, Requirements Engineering, Business Process Modelling, Model-Driven Software Engineering.

In 2019, I was visiting researcher at the Fondazione Bruno Kessler (Trento, Italy) in the SE group headed by Dr. Angelo Susi, while, during my PhD studies, I spent a period abroad at the Polytechnique Montréal (Quebec, Canada) under the supervision of Prof. Giulio Antoniol. After obtaining, cum laude, the Master's Degree in Computer Science in 2010, I have participated to several research and industrial projects funded by different organizations (e.g., Finmeccanica S.p.A. and the Italian Space Agency). Before I graduated, I have been working as IT Technician in various companies.

In the last years I taught several courses to undergraduate and graduate students in Computer Science and Biomedical Engineering including: Mobile Development (from a.y. 2019/20), Introduction to Computer Programming (from a.y. 2021/22), Algorithms and Data Structures (a.y. 2018/19 and from a.y. 2023/24), Foundations of Computer Science (a.y. 2018/19). Previously, I was assistant for several courses including Software Engineering and Web Application Development.
