 title: Welcome to Andrea Cerone, new member of the group
 ---
 We are very happy to welcome Andrea Cerone to the group.Andrea Cerone has joined us 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. Before then he was Post-doctoral Researcher at Trinity College Dublin with Prof Matthew Hennessy, so he claims to be quite unfazed by the UK weather.
