After my Bachelor's Degree in Foreign Languages and Literatures, fascinated by the world of Computational Linguistics, I enrolled in a course in "Language Technologies" at the Master's Degree program in Digital Humanities in Pisa. Thanks to the studies I attended, I was able to develop multidisciplinary skills, acquiring on the one hand a background in the humanities, and on the other hand knowledge of computer tools relevant to the processing of linguistic and other data. For the past three years, I have worked in an Artificial Intelligence startup as a Data Manager, an experience that introduced me to the fascinating world of data. Driven by curiosity to develop greater skills in the field of Data Science, I decided to enroll in the Master in Big Data Analytics & Social Mining.

I graduated in Internationalization of Trade Relations at the University of Catania and I have deepened part of my university studies with the help of private courses and self-study. In this way I have acquired a wide and varied knowledge that covers the areas related to law, economics, marketing and business internationalization. In these years I realised how the management and analysis of large amounts of data play a crucial role in the modern world and in many aspects of our economic and social life. The main reason I decided to enrol in this Master lies in the desire to approach this field in order to broaden my knowledge and acquire new skills.

I am an enterprising person, always looking for new challenges. I studied at the Faculty of Economics and Management of the University of Pisa and then I continued my master studies in Banking, Corporate Finance and Financial Markets.During those days thanks to some projects, I began to know better the world of Big data and for this reason, I decided to undertake this experience, to complete my studies. The Master has been a unique experience that has allowed me to grow a lot.

I am a philologist and translator of East Asian Languages (Japanese and Chinese), my are of interest is of course Natural Language Processing.
My higher education begun back in 2014, when I started my BA in Language culture and society of Asia and Mediterranean Africa at Ca'Foscari university of Venice. During my last year at Ca'Foscari, I was bestowed with the Monbukagakushō scholarship by the Japanese government, which allowed me to spend one year at Osaka University; there, I continued my research on pre-modern Japanese Literature. Finally, in 2019 I completed an MA in Japanese literature at SOAS University of London.
I started teaching myself Python programming and Data Science at the beginning of the pandemic and I immediatly fell in love with transformer NN and other language models, with their ability to solve natural language understanding and translation tasks. This is what convinced me to pursue a career in Data Science.

I was born in Sicily in 1994. Since I was a kid, I've always been strongly interested in maths. However, after getting my high-school diploma in a science-oriented institute, I moved to Bologna to follow another passion - that is, the study of history and political thought. A couple years later, in 2019, I obtained a master's degree in Global Studies at the history department of Bologna's Alma Mater.
After that, I traveled and worked abroad for one year, both in France and in Australia. When I got back home, I decided to enroll to the master to learn new skills that could help me fully realize my background and aspiratons.

My name is Maria and I was born in Messina in 1995. I got my Bachelor's Degree in philosophy at the University of Bologna, and later I chose to deep into the philosophy of science, joining a Master's course in Philosophy of Information at Urbino. My studies made me aware of how the philosophical tools can be useful for analyzing and understanding the hard sciences, and specifically I am very passionate about the issues of the role of modern technology in scientific research. For this reason, I'm trying to sharpen my skills in reading and manipulating data, and therefore I enrolled in the SoBigData Master, that provided me with many useful tools and made me able to face myself with the practical aspects left behind my training so far.

I'm a consultant for innovation policy projects, specialized especially in technological innovation.I achieved a Master Degree in "Management, Innovation and Service Engineering" and a three years’ bachelor degree in Business Economics, defending a thesis in Computer Science on management systems for Enterprises. I've always been interested in Information and communication technology; this is why I have decided to apply to study big data and their overall implication.

I am a 27-year-old Sicilian with a Bachelor’s degree in Literature and a Master’s degree in Linguistics and cognitive studies. I have a passion for NLP, Open Data, and Machine Learning. In the last five years, I have covered responsibility roles in cultural associations, building up communication and team-work skills. I had the chance to participate in the Erasmus+ program twice, at the Universidad de Coimbra, in Portugal, and at the Rijksuniversiteit Groningen, in the Netherlands. I worked on computational and generative linguistics, obtaining academic publications in the latter. I am an enthusiast of innovation and Big Data world. I like challenges and problems and learning new ways to solve them. The learning of Python and more generally, the computational problem solving typical of informatic programming, shaded new lights on my way of thinking of both my previous studies in humanities and the new challenges that this society imposes to people and the companies.

I am a computer engineer. I got the bachelor degree at "Università di Palermo", and the master degree at "Politecnico di Torino" in October 2015. After that, I moved to Wales to improve my English by studying at a college. After seven months, June 2016, eventually my first job as software developer at a multinational semiconductor company in The Netherlands, where I stayed for one year. June 2017, wishing to change work field and to go back to Italy, I moved again, to Catania, where I start working for an american company as software developer in IPTV industry. After two years and half, I was not learning anymore, so my interest about that job fell down, then I decided to leave everything and move to Pisa where I started studying for a master in Big Data. I love spending my free time outdoor, meeting new people and staying in group to have fun, and to work as well. My favorite sports 5-a-side football and swimming.

I was born in Catania in 1992. After getting a scientific diploma I moved to Padova to obtain a bachelor degree title in Statistics, Economy and Finance with a thesis on the debt crisis in Europe and the effect of austerity policies. Then I moved to Bologna University where i got my Master Degree in Statistical, Financial and Actuarial Science with a thesis on the impact of Non-financial information on the share value of quoted firms. Starting from my last year of master degree studies, I had the opportunity to get some job experience by working on the fields of both credit risk modeling and actuarial science. I decided to enroll on the Big Data Analytics Master to develop my knowledge of the latest data analysis techniques and to be able to use them in a varius field of application.
