Fabio Palomba is an Assistant Professor at the Software Engineering (SeSa) Lab of the University of Salerno. He received the European PhD degree in Management & Information Technology in 2017. His PhD Thesis was the recipient of the 2017 IEEE Computer Society Best PhD Thesis Award.

His research interests include software maintenance and evolution, empirical software engineering, source code quality, and mining software repositories. He was the recipient of two ACM/SIGSOFT and one IEEE/TCSE Distinguished Paper Awards at the IEEE/ACM International Conference on Automated Software Engineering (ASE'13), the International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE'15), and the IEEE International Conference on Software Analysis, Engineering, and Reengineering (SANER'22), respectively, and Best Paper Awards at the ACM Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW'18), the IEEE International Conference on Software Analysis, Evolution and Reengineering (SANER'18), and the Euromicro Conference Series on Software Engineering and Advanced Applications (SEAA'22). In 2019 he was the recipient of an SNSF Ambizione grant (900,000 CHF), one of the most prestigious individual research grants in Europe. In 2023, he has been the recepient of the highly-prestigious IEEE/TCSE Rising Star Award, granted for the fundamental contribution to the field of software refactoring.

He serves and has served as a program committee member of all major international conferences (e.g., IEEE/ACM International Conference on Software Engineering, ACM Joint European Software Engineering Conference and Symposium on the Foundations of Software Engineering, IEEE/ACM International Conference on Automated Software Engineering, IEEE/ACM International Conference on Mining Software Repositories, IEEE International Conference on Program Comprehension, IEEE International Conference on Software Maintenance and Evolution), and as referee for all the major international journals (e.g., IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering, ACM Transactions on Software Engineering and Methodology, Springer's Empirical Software Engineering Journal, Elsevier's Journal of Systems and Software) in the field of software engineering.

He has been program co-chair of ICPC 2021 and will be program co-chair of SANER 2024, other than being industrial track co-chair of SANER 2022, ERA track co-chair of ASE 2022, MobileSoft 2022, and SCAM 2022. He also chaired MaLTeSQuE 2018 and 2019. In addition, he has been a member of the organizing committee of ICPC 2015 and SANER 2018. Since 2022, he is Editorial Board Member of the Elsevier's Information and Software Technology Journal (IST). Since 2021, he is Editorial Board Member of the Springer's Empirical Software Engineering Journal (EMSE), where he already was Review Board Member since 2016, and the e-Informatica Software Engineering Journal (EISEJ). Since 2020 he is Review Board Member of the IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering. Since 2019, he is Editorial Board Member of ACM Transactions on Software Engineering and Methodology (TOSEM), Elsevier's Journal of Systems and Software (JSS), and Elsevier's Science of Computer Programming (SCICO). For his reviewing activities, he was the recipient of 14 Distinguished/Outstanding Reviewer Awards.
