Paolo Baldini

Forlì-Cesena, Emilia Romagna, Italy · paolo .baldini.phd@gmail.com

Paolo Baldini works at the University of Bologna, where he conducts research and teaching activities. He is currently adjunct professor for the course of Software Design and Development. Furthermore, he is involved in the FIS3 Starting Grant “Foundations for Macro-programming-based Software Engineering” (FoMaSE), under the supervision of Ph.D. Roberto Casadei.

Paolo Baldini is involved in research in the field of Artificial Intelligence, Adaptive Robotics, and Multi-Agent / Collective Systems. His aims range from enabling robots to autonomously face unpredictable situations that might occur during operation, to better predict the dynamics of multi-agent systems. Other areas of interest concern Complex Systems, Unconventional Computing, Large Language Models, and Genes Regulatory Networks.

Paolo Baldini is author and co-author of several research articles, and has been reviewer and program committee member for several international conferences. As part of his teaching activities, he contributed to the courses of Computer Architectures and Algorithms and Data Structures; furthermore, he taught robot programming at several high-schools for the university orientation project “In the role of a robot: how to program the behavior of a robot”. He is currently supervising a master’s thesis and has been co-supervisor of four other master’s theses.
