Fabrizio Montesi is Professor of Computer Science at the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at the University of Southern Denmark, where he leads the Section of Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity and Programming Languages. He received his PhD in Computer Science from the IT University of Copenhagen and his MSc in the same discipline from the University of Bologna.
Fabrizio is known for pioneering Choreographic Programming, an innovative paradigm for faster and safer programming of connected digital systems. He is also the maintainer and co-creator of Jolie, a programming technology for digital services. More generally, Fabrizio researches new mathematical theories and programming technologies for taming the complexity of computer systems based on digital communication – like Internet services and cloud computing – and of their emergent behaviour. His book Introduction to Choreographies offered the first simple and systematic presentation of how the data flows we wish computers to implement can be implemented through mechanical, reliable procedures.
Fabrizio's important contributions to the understanding and programming of complex computer systems has earned him recognition at all career stages. He received numerous grants, including an ERC Consolidator Grant and a Villum Young Investigator Grant. He is the recipient of the SDU Innovation Prize, the Best PhD Dissertation Award by the European Association for Programming Languages and systems (EAPLS), and the award for Best M.Sc. thesis on Information and Communication Technology (ICT) by the General Confederation of Italian Industry.
