Research
Ascolta- Main research lines: Combinatorics on Words, Algorithms on Strings, Automata Theory and Formal Languages, Symbolic Dynamics, Data Compression, Data Structures and Algorithms for the analysis of biological sequences. Some of the most cited publications are related to the extension of the Burrows-Wheeler Transform to a collection of sequences (Theoretical Computer Science 2007), the study of mathematical properties and the combinatorial analysis of the BWT (Information Processing Letters 2003) and the boosting of the BWT-based compression of sequences (Journal of the ACM 2005).
