 title: Welcome to Andrea Cerone, new member of the group
 ---
-Andrea Cerone has joined the group from the [IMDEA Software Institute](http://software.imdea.org/about.html), Madrid, Spain, where he worked with Dr. Alexey Gotsman on Verification of Higher Order Concurrent Libraries and Foundations of Consistency Models for Distributed Databases. 
-Andrea is working on frameworks for specifying weak consistency models of geo-replicated databases and applications of transaction chopping for various consistency models, in particular snapshot isolation and parallel snapshot isolation.  
-You can find more on Andrea’s research on [his webpage](https://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~acerone/)
