task3.cc

I feel like I have just closed an important cycle of my life. Since the 1st of October, I am enrolled as a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano.

While my Ph.D. will only start from the 7th of January, I am already working in the S4FS research team. Many things are already coming out, that is why I have just opened the research category on this website. Hopefully, it will soon be filled with many interesting things.

Anytime I feel the beginning of a new cycle in my life, I change the theme of task3.cc. This time, I purchased Standard Theme by 8bit.io. I feel it perfectly suits task3.cc.

Without any hesitation, I wish myself good luck for this new beginning.

Trying to be mathematically simple and precise.
