After earning a degree in Computer Science from the University of Pisa, Bruno has first been a researcher and later the research director at the CNR in Pisa. He also served as the director of the CNR’s Institute of Computational Mathematics since its foundation. He has taught and collaborated with several U.S. universities, including Cornell University, the University of Chicago, and Berkeley. His research focused on algorithms and computational complexity, particularly program checking (in collaboration with Manuel Blum) and the computational theory of games (with Kasturi Varadarajan). In recent years, he has dedicated himself to science communication. Since 1994, he has been an honorary professor at Harbin Engineering University in China, and in 2020 he was awarded the Brescia Prize for Scientific Research.
