University, 
        UK while received his PhD degree from the University of Torino
(Italy). 
        Among his research interests are empirical software engineering
studies 
        on libre software, software evolution, visualization of the changes
in 
        the structure of the software and qualitative simulations. He also 
        collaborated with Dr, Juan Ramil two-year during a 2-year stay at
