Salvatore Alessandro Sarcia', Ph.D. ResearchGate - ORCID - LinkedIN
|
Salvatore Alessandro Sarcià earned his Laurea degree in Computer Science in 1994
and his Master’s degree with honors in Strategic Management in 2001, both from the University of Turin (Italy).
He later obtained a second Laurea degree in International Political Science - Economics in 2004 from the University of Trieste (Italy).
He holds a Ph.D. in Computer Science and Automation Engineering from the University of Rome Tor Vergata (Italy). From 2006 to 2008, he was a Visiting Scientist at the Department of Computer Science, University of Maryland at College Park (MD, USA), under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Victor R. Basili. In 2009, he served as a Contract Professor of Object-Oriented Programming at the Department of Engineering, University of Rome Tor Vergata, and as an Adjunct Professor of Information Processing at the Department of Economics, Free University of Bozen-Bolzano (Italy). In 2011, he attended Senior Course 117 at the NATO Defense College in Rome. He later developed a performance model within the Italian General Staff, which is currently applied by the Italian Army. His current research interests include innovation and technology in the military domain, capability development, game theory, artificial neural networks, artificial intelligence, predictive modeling, statistics, measurement, and performance analysis. He applies empirical techniques to conduct experiments in software engineering, software quality, risk analysis, game theory, and system performance. From 2021 to 2024, he served as Head of the Capability Planning Unit at the Italian Permanent Representation to NATO and the EU (EUMC, EDA) in Brussels, Belgium. Since August 2024, he has been serving as Head of the PESCO Cell in the EU Military Staff in Brussels, Belgium, focusing on Military Capability Planning, Artificial Intelligence, Emerging and Disruptive Technologies (EDTs), and Cyber Security from a conceptual perspective. (*) Laurea degree was the traditional full-length university degree in Italy, now structured as a 3-year Bachelor's + 2-year Master's degree.
