About me

Andrea Bracciali is currently a SICSA lecturer at the Department of Computing Science and Mathematics of the University of Stirling (from August 2010). Before that, he worked as a postdoctoral researcher at CNR, Italy (2009-2010) in the Applied Formal Methods group, and at the Computer Science Department of the University of Pisa (2003-2008), where he received his Ph.D. (2003) in Computer Science. His main research interests are centered in the formal description of interaction in computing with application to Synthetic and Systems Biology and, more recently, BlockChain Technologies.

Event / Presentation

Modelling Non-linear Crowd Dynamics in Bio-PEPA. 14th International Conference on Fundamental Approaches to Software Engineering, FASE 2011

An integrated modelling approach for R5-X4 mutation and HAART therapy assessment. International Conference on Systems Biology
2010

Research

My main research interests regard the formal description of interaction in computational systems and theories and tools for reasoning about such descriptions. This stream of research spawns form Theoretical Computer Science, Concurrency Theory in particular. I applied it to a number of domains, including Software Composition, CyberSecurity, Crowd Dynamics, Systems Biology and Bioinformatics. Applications in Systems Biology see living systems as ‘computational’ systems, consisting of (large numbers) of autonomous and interacting entities. Models serves as ‘virtual labs’ where the various hypotheses about the functioning of the systems can be investigated.More recently I have been interested in the modelling and understanding of Blockchain Technologies and Applications, seen as a decentralised computer, a fascinating and challenging problem enriching the idea of distributed computation.
