Leonardo Montecchi
About
I am Associate Professor at NTNU in Trondheim, working on topics related to dependability and software engineering. From 2017 to 2021 I was Assistant Professor at UNICAMP in Campinas, Brazil. I started working in research at the Resilient Computing Lab research group of University of Florence, Italy, where I also received my PhD.
I work with different aspect related to the modeling of complex systems, including formal models, probabilistic models, and model-driven engineering. I am mostly interested in problems related to safety-critical and mission-critical domains. My research interests focuses on model-driven engineering tehcniques applied to the V&V systems, with a particular focus on automating quantitative performability analysis, and on formalizing system development artifacts using domain-specific languages.
As part of my research background I have also gained some experience of industrial techniques and processes for V&V of safety-critical systems, including techniques like FMEA, FMECA, and Hazard Analysis.

I have been involved in research projects funded by different entities, including the EU, the São Paulo State Research Foundation, the Italian Ministry of Education and Research, and the Tuscany region.

Teaching
Courses
I am currently responsible for the "Programming Languages" (TDT4165) and "Advanced Software Design" (TDT4250) courses.
In the past I have taught courses on different topics, including "Object-Oriented Programming", "Software Engineering", "Software Verification Validation and Testing", and "Model-Driven Software Engineering". I have also held a course on "Scientific Writing" for Master's and PhD students.
Supervision
I supervise Master's students and PhD cadidates on different topics. Feel free to contact me for more information or for information about available Master's projects. You can also find a structured overview of my research topics on my personal page.
