Psicologia

I am 25 and I come from a small town near Turin. After earning a bachelor's degree in Psychology, with a thesis in psychometrics on a data analysis technique, I specialized in Criminal and Forensic Psychology at the University of Turin. I have always been fascinated by data analysis and research methodologies in the psychosocial field and, after a brief collaboration with a private research foundation, I decided to deepen my knowledge in data management and analysis. I then applied for the master in Big Data Analytics to obtain some technical skills to study human phenomena from a quantitative point of view so to try to understand the complexity of the world around us.

I graduated in Experimental Psychology at the University of Florence and obtained my PhD in Basic Neuroscience at the University of Pisa. During my PhD I studied cortical plasticity and visual system development, using electrophysiology and functional imaging. Currently I hold a Postdoctoral Fellowship at the Institute of Neuroscience, CNR (Pisa) and I am working on rare diseases of the nervous system using animal models. Throughout my stydies I became passionate in developing new hardware and software tools for functional microscopy, data analysis and machine learning. For this reason I decided to enroll this master and acquire the specific skills to extend and improve my knowledge in the fields of computer and data science.

Luisa Bonanome is 27 years old, she was born in Rome and, in 2016, she graduated in "Psychology applied to the contexts of health, labor and legal law" at the University La Sapienza of Rome. After completing her studies, she undertook a compulsory post-graduate internship at Culture srl: a research and communication company founded by Dr. Felicia Pelagalli, an expert in human digital transformation, data analysis and business consulting. Stimulated by this experience, she has decided to continue in this area by enrolling in the Master, to direct her professional skills in data analysis and to be introduced to those new approaches and tools that are proving fundamental to encourage changings towards, what is today called, a Data Driven culture.

Martina was born in Pietrasanta(LU) in the 1985. She graduated in Experimental Psychology at the University of Florence. Her master thesis concerned the study of face recognition cognitive processes. In the 2015, she got a PhD degree in Pyshcology and Neuroscience at the Department of NEUROFORBA of the University of Florence, where today she collaborates in the Cognitive Processes Lab. During her PhD, she spent a period at the Brown University, Providence, Rhode Island (USA), where she studied 3D perception. Her main interests concern the study of the influence of emotions on cognitive processes, particularly how emotions influence the learning of new information. She has a great interest in data analysis and psychometry and for this reason she decided to attend the Master in Big Data. She believes that Big Data are an important instrument to understand the human behavior.
