Basilicata

In March 2017, I graduated from "La Sapienza" University of Rome with a master's degree in sociology discussing a thesis on the topic of representation of work among young people in Rome. In the same year, through an internship at the CNR, I partecipated in a research about the construction of the image of migrants in online newspapers and textbooks. The interest in the understanding of social dynamics led me to decide to expand my knowledge with the master in Big Data Analytics and Social Mining. I believe that the application of techniques and models deriving from data science can highlight further and new aspects in the study of social phenomena to grasp their contradictions and their problems.

I graduated from the University of Pisa with a Bachelor's degree in Biomedical Engineering and a Master's degree in Management Engineering. During my master thesis, driven by a strong curiosity, I approached the study of Data Mining and Machine Learning. Specifically, I used these techniques on a large dataset of Emergency Department visits to build predictive models of patient waiting times. I am currently a research fellow at the Department of Energy, Systems, Territory and Construction Engineering of the University if Pisa where I study predictive analytics applied in the healthcare field. I enrolled in the post graduate course in Big Data Analytics to improve my programming skills and explore the wide variety of techniques offered by Data Science.

Alice Giorgio was born in Potenza in 1987 and obtained a Master of Science Degree in Economics and Management of Public Administration and International Institutions (Bocconi University, 2012) with a thesis entitled “The natural resource curse: empirical analysis of Basilicata case”. During her formation, she studied public management and strategy, analysis of industrial and local development policies, policy evaluation and project management. Prior to joining Enrico Mattei Eni Foundation (FEEM) in June 2012, she experienced an internship at the “United Nations Joint Programme for Youth Employment and Migration” in Tirana, Albania. During this experience she also participated in the organization of training programs supporting Albanian top public management bodies in the introduction of data and data analysis into policy processes. In collaboration with FEEM she deals with both theoretical and applied research projects and support activities for the public and private sectors on issues related to local development.
