Born in Padua in 1993, I moved to Bologna and graduated in Anthropology, Religions and Eastern Culture. I then moved to Rotterdam to attend the master in Arts, Culture and Society, where I studied social theories and research methods, with a focus on different ways of experiencing culture and the arts, and writing a thesis on Rotterdam Museums' visitors. Later, I moved to London where I worked for a well known research market agency, participating in international projects in several areas, both offline and online. My experience in London determined my decision to focus on the digital world and especially on Big Data, which are more and more critical in our society. I enrolled in the Big Data Analytics Master to acquire technical skills together with a broader knowledge on how to extract information from data and how to use it in a strategic and informed manner.

After a Bachelor degree in "International and European studies" at the Univeristy of Milan where I have gained insight on the work of the European and International institutions, I decided to specialise myself in the migration field with the Master “Sociology of Migrations and interethnical relations” at the Paris Diderot University. Following some professional experiences in public and private institutions, I finally sign up for this Master in Big Data Analytics with the aim of gaining new skills and knowledge useful to analyze and study our complex society from a quantitative point of view.

After having completed my studies in humanities, with a bachelor’s degree in Comparative Literature and a master’s degree in Euro-American Languages and Philologies, I decided to start studying Big Data because I was fascinated with how the huge mass of information available nowadays can be used and analysed. I am confident that my linguistic background and my experience in the philological research will be an added value and a resource in the interpretation of the complexities and problems that this kind of analysis inevitably entails. I am particularly interested in neural networks and natural language processing, which I am hoping to further study in its various application, especially in conversational analysis. I have also experience with illustration and storytelling, so I am well aware of the opportunities that a well-structured narration has.

Passionate about Journalism, Media System and Communication I decided to attend this Master in Big Data Analytics and Social Mining after I gratuaded in Law and a period abroad working for an International ONG. I was motivated by curiosity and wish to learn some more technical skills which I think are very important to support ideas and in terms of decision making.

I graduated in business and economics, and I hold a second-level master degree obtained in different European universities. I had experiences in various parts of the world and after working for a multinational company, I also founded my own, where I discovered the world of data and its importance, deciding to further specialise in the field. Why do I believe I have the right skills for a data scientist? Besides the needed specific competences, which I’m acquiring with this master, some more are of uttermost importance. I’m precise and detail-oriented, I’m trained in thinking outside the box, always on the lookout for hidden patterns, which I then try to reconnect to the big-picture. I consider myself a life-long student, ready to keep on studying the data-world which is under constant evolution. I enjoy working in teams, I have always had, even with international ones, but I’m also good in solitary work, as I had to do with my company. I’m extremely motivated and ready to work hard.

Tina Martino is currently covering the role of Head of Value Proposition in Octo Telematics, a leading company in insurance telematics and smart mobility services. After graduating in Information Sciences, he worked at Telecom Italia as Telco networks designer and vertical product marketing specialist. After she specialized in infomobility solutions, holding various technical and commercial roles mainly in Viasat, an Italian company, and then in Siemens where she managed “end to end” Internet of things projects in different application contexts (home, industrial automation, connected cars). Her special focus on continuous innovation and the search for new perspectives to look at everyday life have characterized her professional path.

Born in Trapani in 1987, when I attendend High Schools The passion to data was born and so I attended a the degree course in Statistics for Data Analysis at the University of Palermo. I continued my training with a master's degree in Statistical Sciences in 2015. After a short break in which I started a restaurant business, I decided to resume my studies by attending a Master in Big Data Analytics which allowed me to look back at data analysis and to improve my computer skills.

Paola Serrati' was born in 1988 in Lecce. She earned her master’s degree, with honors, in Comparative Modern Culture from the University of Turin. After some experiences in communications, she was the research manager of the "Sciascia and France" project, in association with the Arnoldo and Alberto Mondadori Foundation and Friends of Leonardo Sciascia Association. She’s specialized in creative writing, attending "Laura Lepri Scritture" courses at the Formentini Laboratory, in Milan. She has worked as a teacher of Literature and of the Italian for foreigners at high school and junior high school. She enrolled in Master of Big Data to develop her humanistic education with the skills and the innovative methods of Data Science.

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 am now enrolled in Nuovo Pignone (Baker & Hughes, a General Electric Company) as Test Data Analysis and Acquisition Engineer, operating in the R&D laboratory for the validation of new turbomachinery products and prototypes. My academic background is in Particle Physics. During my PhD within the CMS collaboration (CERN) I worked on data collected by the experiment to optimize the high level trigger tracking algorithms of the experiment and to perform statistical analysis to investigate about the presence of a high-mass Higgs boson. My one-year stay in CERN and in Geneva area is one of the most exciting experiences I had. https://www.linkedin.com/in/valentina-gori-8b077589/
