Giuseppe La Rocca

Giuseppe La Rocca graduated with doctorate in Software Engineering from the University of Catania, Italy. He joined the National Institute of Nuclear Physics (INFN) of Catania as a scientific collaborator since 2004 and has been working for NA4 work package in the context of the Enabling Grid for E-sciencE (EGEE) Project until 2006. His main activity was to foster the induction of new users and scientific communities into the project in order to speed up the creation scientific results of particular relevance. During these two years of the project several applications, coming from different scientific domains such us: Astro-Particles Physics, Earth Science Communities, Life Science, have been successfully supported on the grid infrastructure.
From 2006 to 2007 he has been involved in the WP6 of the BIOINFOGRID Project. His main tasks during the project were to foster the training of the bioinformatics community, provide technical support for users and applications and establish relations with other grid projects. Up to April 2008 he was involved in LIBI Project where he developed high level services on the GENIUS Grid portal for bioinformatics community. Starting from May he is involved in EGEE-III project. He is the author of 7 proceedings of international conferences.

Dr. Diego Scardaci

Dr. Diego Scardaci was born in Catania, Italy, in 1975. He obtained Computer Science Engineering degree in the year 2000. Since 2006 he works at INFN Catania. Starting from January 2006, he has been involved in the EUChinaGRID project, funded by the European Commission. In the context of this project, he has been the task leader of the Dissemination of Advanced Grid knowledge activities. He organised many induction courses in China to spread the Grid knowledge in the Asiatic country and he participated to these courses as a tutor. Moreover, he participated as tutor in many induction courses in Europe. He has been involved in the support of the applications working in Grid environment, helping users to port their application in the Grid infrastructure. He organised Grid Schools to create the necessary knowledge for the porting of new applications to the Grid Infrastructure. Now he is involved in EELA-2 project as deputy manager of the JRA1 activity and in EUASIAGRID project.
