Prof. Carlo GHEZZI received his PhD in Electrical Engineering from Politecnico di Milano in 1969. He joined his alma mater in 1981 and has been the Chair of Software Engineering, Rector's delegate for research, member of the Academic Senate and of the Board of Governors, and Department Chair. He is currently the Emeritus Professor of Software Engineering in the Department of Electronics, Information and Bioengineering.

Prof. Ghezzi’s research has been focusing on software engineering and programming languages. He is especially interested in principles, methods, and tools to improve dependability of software and its ability to self-adapt and evolve, in the context of ubiquitous/pervasive computer applications. He was the Editor-in-Chief of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) Transactions on Software Engineering and Methodology in 2001-2007. He had also served on the editorial board of Communications of the ACM, IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering, and Science of Computer Programming, to name a few.

Prof. Ghezzi's contributions to computer science have been widely recognized with several honors and awards. He is an ACM Fellow, an IEEE Fellow, a member of the European Academy of Sciences, and of the Italian Academy of Sciences—Istituto Lombardo. During 2012-2015, he was the President of Informatics Europe. He has also received several prestigious awards, including the Distinguished Education Award from the IEEE Technical Community on Software Engineering in 2018, the Outstanding Research Award from the ACM Special Interest Group in Software Engineering (SIGSOFT) in 2015 and the Distinguished Service Award from the ACM SIGSOFT in 2006.
