Foreword

Although most of my publications can be found in popular digital libraries and indexing services, such as DBLP and Scopus, not all of them actually are. Hence here follows a curated list of my whole publication record organised per kind (to complement most of the aforementioned services which organise papers per year): monographs, journals, conferences, and others (such as editorials or contributed chapters). Within each category, publications are nevertheless sorted by year, from the most recent to the oldest.

Since the complete metadata (e.g. the bibtex export) of each publication can be easily found at the provided link (alphanumeric publication tag), I only put the publication title and venue to avoid unnecessarily cluttering the page.

Also, a dedicated section at the end of the page lists all of my talks, again organised per kind: conferences, seminars, tutorials, and other (such as informal research collaborations). Yet again, within each category, talks are sorted from the most recent to the oldest.

Enjoy :)
