Marcello La Rosa - about me

Hi there! I am Marcello and this is my story in a nutshell.

 

I was born in Sicily - a sunny island in southern Italy, in late 1980. After completing the grammar school, I moved to Turin in northern Italy, where I obtained my "Laurea" degree in Computer Engineering from Politecnico di Torino, in 2005. Since then, I've been living in Brisbane, Australia, where I first undertook a PhD in Computer Science with the Business Process Management (BPM) Research Group (now BPM Discipline) at the Queensland University of Technology, and then started a position of Senior Lecturer with the same university.

 

I became a Research Fellow with NICTA Australia in 2011, and a Liechtenstein IS Research Fellow with the Hilti Chair of BPM at the University of Liechtenstein in 2012.

 

My research interests span different topics in the area of BPM, with a focus on process consolidation, configuration and automation. The results of my research have appeared in major journals and conferences in my field (e.g. TOSEM, IS, FACS, BPM, CAiSE, ER, CoopIS).

 

I lead the AProMoRe initiative - a strategic collaboration among various universities and industry partners for the development of an advanced process model repository. I'm also involved in the design of YAWL, one of the most-mature community-based open-source workflow management system.

 

I teach process modeling and service-oriented architecture to undergraduate and postgraduate students in my university, and besides this, I provide corporate training courses to managers and analysts in the area of BPM.

 

Apart from my job, I am very much in love with my wife (who followed me to this far end of the world), I like playing classical guitar, taking photos (you can appreciate some in this site), going surfing (although I'm not very good) and diving (I'm Advanced Open Water!). As per music tastes, throw in everything that sounds like blues, folk and rock from the old seventies (Led Zeppelin to name one).
