Alessandro Soro got his M.Sc. with honours in Computer Science from the University of Cagliari in 2006 discussing a graduation thesis titled "Range Queries over Structured P2P Networks". In 2012 he was appointed PhD in mathematics and scientific computing from the University of Cagliari, defending a dissertation on "Gestures and Cooperation: Considering non-verbal communication in the design of interactive spaces".

Since Sept. 2000 he has been a researcher at CRS4, where he has been involved in several research projects, funded under national and international schemes.

His current research interests include human-computer interaction and computer supported cooperative work, focused on the design of multi-touch interactive surfaces (tables and walls) and their applications, such as, to name a few, collaborative information retrieval, exploration of multimedia databases, collaborative software engineering. Current focus is on sensing and understanding human gestures with the aim of creating interactive systems more friendly to human-human interactions and cooperation.
