===== Gianluca Della Vedova =====


I am an Associate Professor at the Department of Statistics, University of Milano-Bicocca. My research interests are in the field of algorithms and complexity theory. I am particularly interested in some problems in Computational Biology, such as the Multiple Sequence Alignment, Phylogeny Reconstruction, and Probe Selection for DNA arrays. I am leading a new project called ALiBio (short for Algorithms Library for Bioinformatics), which aims to be a building block for Bioinformatics programs. I am also involved with the Bioinformatics Research Group at the Department of Computer Science.

I have worked on (and I am still loosely interested in) some problems related to the modular decomposition of graphs and hypergraphs, as well as the modeling of data bases by means of graphs.
