Paola Bonizzoni is full professor in Computer Science at the Università di Milano-Bicocca.
Her research interests are mainly in the area of theoretical computer science, and include: formal languages and automata, graph theory, computational complexity and bioinformatics.
Her most recent contributions concerns the solution of combinatorial problems in bioinformatics related to sequence analysis, haplotypying and phylogenetic recostruction and comparison.
Moreover, she got results on the computational power of formal systems for molecular computation based on the recombination of linear and circular DNA.
