Name:Matteo Marra

Bio:

I am a pre-doctoral researcher at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (Belgium). After completing my bachelor studies in Italy (Università degli studi di Bologna), I moved to Brussels for a master at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel, in the Software Languages Lab, and decided to start a PhD under the guide of prof. Elisa Gonzalez Boix. I also cooperate with the RMoD research group at INRIA Lille Nord-Europe.

My research focuses on debugging concurrent and parallel applications, particularly Big Data (or data intensive) applications. In this edition of Programming, after having participated in the Student Research Competition last year, I will be presenting the work of my Master Thesis and of my first months as a PhD student. This works focus on out-of-place debugging, a debugging architecture for online live debugging of distributed applications.
