Previously, she was a Ph.D student at the University of Salerno, advised by Prof. Filomena Ferrucci. She received (magna cum laude) the Master's Degree in Computer Science from the University of Salerno (Italy) in 2020 defending a thesis on Software Testing, advised by Prof. Filomena Ferrucci, Dr. Pasquale Salza and Dr. Valerio Terragni. She received the Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science from the University of Salerno (Italy) in 2017 defending a thesis on the creation of customized mobile applications.

Research Interests

My research activities are in the area of Software Engineering and in particular, are mainly focused on the following topics: (i) Software Testing, (ii) Software Quality, (iii) Software Maintenance and Evolution. My research interests also include the development of novel software engineering for artificial intelligence tools and techniques. My research is focused on flaky tests, tests that exhibit both a passing and failing behavior when run against the same code, and Test smells, sub-optimal design choices adopted when developing Test case.
