A theory is something
nobody believes, except the person who made it.
An experiment is something everybody believes, except the person who made it.
(Albert Einstein)
The most exciting phrase to hear in
science, the one that heralds the most discoveries, is not "Eureka!", but
"That's funny..."
(Isaac Asimov)
Contrary to
what Asimov says, the most exciting phrase in science, the one that heralds
new discoveries, is not "Eureka!" or "That's funny...," it's "Your research
grant has been approved."

Welcome to
Andrea Adamoli's

I'm a Ph.D. student at the
Faculty of
Informatics of the
University of Lugano (USI),
since September 2008. I am interested in object-oriented programming, virtual
machines, systems interaction (from hardware to higher
abstraction levels), performance measurements, regression tests, algorithms
and education. Actually, what I really love at the moment is the teaching part
of my Ph.D. ...unfortunately this doesn't seem to be usual for a Ph.D.
student.

My advisor is assistant professor
Matthias Hauswirth,
who is mainly interested in approaches for
understanding the performance of modern, complex systems. Moreover he is also
really interested in exploring every possible way to improve the teaching
"art", following a kind of "socratic" philosophy.

Occasionally I also work as
substitute teacher in the middle and high schools of Ticino (a.k.a. Italian
part of Switzerland).

In September 2008, I got the Master of Science
in Embedded Systems Design at the USI,
Advanced Learning
and Research Institute (ALaRI) with a thesis on GNSS (Global Navigation
Satellite System) related technologies.

In
October 2005, I
graduated as Computer Science Engineer at the University of Applied Sciences
of Southern Switzerland (SUPSI) – Department of innovative technologies (DTI),
with deep studies in the technical field of the discipline (embedded systems).
My degree work was the development of an application based on Cellular
Automata by using the Java (J2SE) language. For the outstanding results of the
final exams and of the degree work I won the “Economia Ticinese” prize.
