Academic Information


She obtained a Ph.D in Computer Science under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Luciano Baresi at Politecnico di Milano university where she received her master's degree in Computing Systems as well. She won the Telecom Italia (TIM Group ) Ph.D. scholarship that gave her the opportunity to collaborate with the TIM Smart Space Innovation Lab during her Ph.D. Her activities were primarily concentrated on the context-aware pervasive systems as the application of Internet/Web of Things. Specifically, she has investigated the semantic and model-based approaches for the conception, development, and operation of context-aware services that create the backbone of a self-adaptive smart space incorporating user's preference and active context of the use to manage various aspects of an intelligent environment.
After her Ph.D, she started a postdoc position in Politecnico di Milano university that involved her in several EU innovation projects (including Shift2Rail , IP4MaaS and SPRINT ) centered on developing the modern software architecture, patterns, and tools to address the lack of syntactical and semantical interoperability in complex and challenging distributed systems such as the Transportation Domain. During that period, Dr. Sadeghi was also a teaching assistant of the graduate courses in Politecnico di Milano (Software Engineering II, and Software Engineering Methodologies for Security) and supervised a couple of master and Ph.D. programs students.
At present, her research activities are mainly focused on Explainable software systems. In particular, she is interested in automated explanation generation, interactive cyber-physical explainability, and explainable decision support and recommendation system. She is also a teaching assistant for the courses Requirement Management and Software Engineering.
