Education and training

He has his master degree in Biology at Padua University in 2000 working in the Biophysics field; during this work he begun to explore the applications of Computer Science in Biology. Going further in that
direction he gained his PhD in 2005, still at Padua University, with a thesis about genome sequencing and annotation of deep sea bacterium P. profundum.
Since 2005 he was at the Fondazione Edmund Mach as bioinformatician specialized in genome data analysis and genome data management; he had worked, mainly, at the gene prediction and functional annotation of grape genome Pinot Noir and apple genome Golden Delicious.
