Parcours/Biographie

Valerio Schiavoni is Professeur Titulaire and Maître d'enseignement et recherche (MER) at the University of Neuchâtel, Switzerland. He has been Visiting Professor at the Università degli Studi di Roma 'Sapienza' (Italy) Invited Professor at the Mohammed VI Polytechnic University 'UMP6' (Morocco), and Invited Lecturer at University of Fribourg (Switzerland).


He received his B.Sc. & M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in Computer Science from Roma Tre University (Italy) and from the University of Neuchâtel (Switzerland), respectively.He was a Research Engineer at INRIA Rhône-Alpes (France) and Research Intern at Yahoo! Research (Spain). In 2014-2017, he was appointed scientific coordinator of the Centre of Competence for Complex Systems and Big Data (CC-CSBD) at University of Neuchâtel. He coordinates the CUSO (Conference Universitaire Suisse Occidentale) program for Computer Science in the 2025-2026 (his second mandate since 2020-2022).


He co-founded one start-up (SafeCloud Tech), and co-founded the ARM HPC User Group (AHUG), in addition to several industrial endeavours as software engineer while in Italy.He often collaborates with Swiss cantonal and national research institutions (ie CSEM, ABB Research, IBM Research, Oracle Research) as well as international ones.


He published more than 100 papers and served on more than 50 TPCs, including EuroSys, ICDCS, SoCC, DSN.He served as PC Chair for ACM Middleware'24, IEEE PRDC'24, EuroSys Artifact Evaluation 2024, IEEE SRDS'25. His research interests lie at the intersection of systems broadly conceived, security, and data management. He teaches in the Bachelor of Data Science and in the Joint Master of Computer Science (JCMS).
