I am Roberta, originally from a small town in the province of Avellino, which I soon left for University studies. I have a Bachelor's degree in Applied Mathematics, a Master's in Digital Humanities and anpther Master's in Film Editing, achieved in the UK. My dream, in fact, was to work in the Film Industry as an editor. However, I realized that reaching that goal meant giving up meaningful relationships, besides a healthy and balanced life. Furthermore, the opportunities for growth in the field of video editing were very limited, especially following the pandemic. Therefore, I decided to explore new horizons, including the world of Data Science. The things that most fascinate me about this world are its many facets and its many applications to different fields. My new goal, therefore, is to exploit the knowledge extracted from data in order to contribute to the common good.

I was born in Naples in 1995 and in 2017 I earned my Bachelor Degree in Mathematics with a thesis in Algebra at the University of Naples Federico II. There I attended Mathematics Master's Degree Program choosing an application-oriented path and I earned my Master's Degree in Mathematics with a thesis about the mathematical modeling of a viral infection on microscopic level.
I have always been passionate about science and technology and during my studies I realised the importance of Data Analysis in a wide range of applications. This is why I decided to deepen my knowledge attending the Master in Big Data Analytics & Social Mining.

I was born in 1994 in a small town between Naples and Salerno. My passion for Physics and Mathematics led me to obtain a master’s degree in Physics at University of Naples ‘Federico II’ in 2019. The thesis concerned the application of the physics of Complex Systems to chromosome 3D architecture. After the degree I won a scholarship in the USA for a three-month project about gravitational wave signals. When I came back, I got a job in the financial area, and I have spent one year working as Analyst at Deloitte in support of the Market Risk Office of Intesa Sanpaolo. The data drove me in all my experiences. So, to deepen the analysis of big data and learn how to use them to extract useful knowledge in different areas, from scientific to economic ones, I decided to attend the Big Data Analytics & Social Mining Master. After the Master I would like to work as a Data Scientist in R&D departments.

I earned both my Bachelor and my Master in Philosophy at the University of Salerno. During my studies, my main area of interest has been comtemporary philosophy with a focus on the phenomenological movement, a tradition that has inspired me to always seek an interdisciplinary approach. In this spirit I chose to attend this Master, convinced not only by the importance of acquiring skills in the fields of management and analysis of data, but also by the philosophical relevance of many of the questions data science gives rise to. The lectures and the seminars held within the Master have strengthened my conviction showing the richness of the spectrum of disciplines and themes involved in working with data.

After earning professional experience working in graphic designing, I decided to study European Languages and Literatures at the university of Naples “L’Orientale”, graduating in 2017 with my bachelor’s degree.
Attracted by the world of linguistic research I then moved to Bologna to further my studies. In 2020 I concluded a master's degree in Linguistics with a thesis in Computational Linguistics.
The interest for the multiple possibilities and applications of the subject opened up by a computational approach to linguistics pushed me to collaborate on the project “Italian FrameNet” and to make my master thesis about it. Once I completed my job on the project, I made up my mind to apply to the Master in Big Data Analytics & Social Mining in order to learn notions of computer science useful to the processing of linguistic data.

Graduated in Business Administration from the University of Naples Federico II. After 2 years of professional experience in the field of Marketing and Project Management I wanted to acquire new skills in the Big Data sector in order to better understand what is at the basis of a Data Driven strategy. My training is focused on management. However, my various life experiences deriving from my passions for volunteering, social policies, sport and travel have enriched my profile and my skills in such a way that I can adapt to any context and situation.

I graduated in Archaeological Heritage at the University of Naples "L'Orientale" and continued my studies at the University of Pisa, obtaining in 2015 the Master's Degree in Archeology. During my academic career, I had two internship experiences in Sofia (Bulgaria) and Nicosia (Cyprus), where I had the opportunity to work in museums and research centers. Since 2015 I have been involved within a research laboratory, dealing with digitization of archaeological data. I decided to enroll in the Big Data Analytics and Social Mining Master to broaden my knowledge especially in the technical and scientific fields.

I obtained both my Bachelor's and Master's degree at the University of Siena (2012), and completed a PhD in Comparative Literature at the University of Pisa (2017). During my PhD, I have been visiting student at Universidad de Lisboa (2015) and at CUNY in New York (2016). Then, I obtained a position as Research Fellow at the University of Pisa (2017) and as Adjunct Professor of Comparative Literature at the University of Turin (2018-19). In recent years, I have started exploring issues in digital humanities. I believe that the changes generated by the digital revolution require the presence of scholars and professionals who know how to combine a scientific and IT preparation with a background in humanities

Laureata con lode in Mercati Finanziari, con tesi in “Crisi bancarie sistemiche: il caso dell’Islanda”, si avvicina allo studio dei modelli statistico/matematici applicati ai mercati finanziari. Durante il periodo di studi universitari, ha l’occasione, attraverso la conduzione di indagini sociali periodiche, organizzate dall’ISTAT, di apprezzare l’importanza dell’analisi dei dati come strumento per conoscere la struttura della società. Dopo la laurea, lavora come analista, per più di due anni, in una multinazionale americana nel settore del credito, nell’ambito marketing e sales. La formazione accademica e l’esperienza lavorativa hanno costituito l’humus ideale per coltivare l’interesse verso l’affascinante mondo dei big data nella ricerca ed interpretazione di dati significativi  per le  scelte strategiche di aziende ed istituzioni.
