I graduated in Economics in 2018. My thesis focused on investigating the effects of social relationships between individuals in the economic system. Following my graduation, I had several work experiences in the private sector, that made me realize the importance of data for business. I enrolled the Master in Big Data Analytics & Social Mining to learn the methods for data analysis in order to work as a Data Scientist in the future.

My name is Fatima Zahra Abid. I was born and raised in Verona, Italy. I'm Italian and Moroccan and since I was born, every year, I visit my family in Morocco. I've attented Social sciences in High School and I become very passionate about Sociology, Anthropology and Social Psychology. I decided to accomplish a Bachelor and a Master's Degree in Sociology and Research Methods in order to achieve theoretical and practical tools to question and understand social phenomena. My great interest is to observe and analyze social products from several social contexts. Considering the opportunities, due to technological breakthrough and innovation, in the social research field, I become interested and enthusiast in deepen the field of Data Science in order to further investigate and understand actual phenomena.

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.

Curious and goal-oriented Sociologist and Project manager Professional, I have more than 15 years of experience in design, management and evaluation of projects financed by local, national or EU funds, devising creative strategic solutions to problems. I also dedicated more than five years to monitoring and evaluation projects where I improved my skills in Qualitative and Quantitative Analysis. The chance to participate in the Big Data Analytics and Social Mining Master is a needed step to extend my competences in Data Analysis.

I'm 26 years old and I graduated in Biology. I did a research thesis in Bioinformatics, in collaboration with the National Istitute of Health, on Malaria. The goal was to find the interactome between Plasmodium and murine erythrocyte: the results were presented at the International Conference of Computational Systems Biology and Bionformatics (December 2019). Through this work, I learned how difficult but interesting it is to analyze data and extrapolate information. For this reason, I would like to engage in Data science and this master offers me the opportunity.

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 was born in Pisa, I studied Communication Design at Politecnico (Milano) and in Toronto, Canada. In my Master's thesis, developed inside the DensityDesign research lab, I explored user-generated data visualizations on Wikipedia. I briefly worked in Hamburg as a data visualization designer.

I attended the University of Pisa and got the master's degree in Mathematics in 2009. I was a PhD fellow at the Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna in Pisa on "Innovative Technologies of ICT and Robotics" for one and a half years. During the PhD I attended some programming courses and I finally found a job as software developer in Pisa. Recently I started to get involved in data analysis and machine learning, so I decided to enroll in the Big Data Analytics and Social Mining Master.

I graduated in Computer Engineering at the Politecnico di Torino, with a thesis on Machine Learning applied to Big Data. I immediately found a job at a company in the data analysis field, offering technological support to the data scientist team and involved in projects for the implementation, development and automation of procedures for Data Integration, Transformation and Visualization as well as the organization of the data infrastructure. Afterwards I thought it was appropriate to learn in deep the topics of Big Data by enrolling in this postgraduate master, in order to develop new skills in the field that fascinates me the most and in which I would like to find work opportunities.

After completing a Master's Degree in Biomedical Engineering at the University of Pisa, I worked as an R&D Engineer in a biomedical company-university spin-off contributing to the European Horizon2020 Endoo-EU project. In this innovative and stimulating context, my curiosity towards Data Science's world was born. Later, as an SQA Engineer for a multinational company, I continued to inform myself about Data Science and its infinite application possibilities with the aim of transforming my personal interest into a real job opportunity. Hence the decision to enroll in the Master in Big Data Analytics & Social Mining.
