Hi there! I'm Marcello and this is my (short) story...

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 (equivalent to BScEng + MScEng) from Politecnico di Torino, in 2005. Since then, I've been living in Brisbane, Australia, where I've undertaken a PhD on "Business Process Configuration" with the Business Process Management (BPM) Research Group at the Faculty of Information Technology, Queensland University of Technology. I expect to complete my studies at the end of 2008.

My research interests span different topics in the area of BPM, including process configuration and automation, reference process modeling, collaborative process modeling and Software Oriented Architectures design and analysis. I'm also a developer for the YAWL Initiative, and in this context I collaborate with YAWL's main industry partner, the British first:utility. Finally, I provide Continuing Professional Education (CPE) courses to government agencies in the area of BPM.

Apart from my job, I like playing classical guitar, taking photos (you can appreciate some in this site), going surfing (although I'm not very good) and diving. As per music tastes, I'm a lover of everything that sounds blues, folk and rock from the old seventies (e.g. Led Zeppelin).
