I was born in Pisa, where I studied Philosophy at the University. I obtained the Master Degree in 2013 and I'm currently a Ph.d candidate at the University of Pisa and Florence. During my research periods abroad (Cologne, Paris) I had the occasion to improve my English, German and French. I choose the Master in Big Data Analysis and Social Mining to enrich my knowledge and skills.

Graduated with honours in Multimedia Production at the University of Bologna, my final dissertation "Let the Web serve humanity: perspectives of a webified city" focuses on the possibility to create an exsperimental project based on a new typology of smart city, built on the Web of Things, an evolution of the well known IoT. This academic path gave me the opportuinity to work within an evolving scenario - the one of new technologies - with an olistic approach and a multi-purpose thinking. All this allowed me to obtain an interdisciplinary education. I also did an interesting internship as digital designer in a web agency in Sarzana and I currently work as a photographer for private and public customers in Italy and abroad. My passion for the Web and its practical development eventually led me to participate in this master degree on Big Data Analytics.

I earned my masters degree in Telecommunications Engineering at the University of Padua with a thesis completed in the research laboratories of Philips in Eindhoven based on self-learning algorithms for detection of electrical appliances. I started to be interested in data mining and data analysis, after a year working in Italy as software developer, I moved to Dublin. There I worked for three years in a start-up specialized in energy consumption analysis, performing various roles from the design of new algorithms to software development, including working in several European projects. Hence the interest in this master, to deepen my knowledge in data analysis and integrate it with my personal interest in social issues.

Born in Pisa on December 25, 1989. Graduated with honors in Business Administration with a major in Accounting at the University of Pisa in 2015. Worked in auditing for one of the Big Four firms. Passionate about entrepreneurship, marketing and the digital world, I’ve been trying to make these topics merge together in my continuous learning experience, beginning with a MOOC in Digital Marketing offered by the University of Illinois up to the Master in Big Data Analytics in which I’m currently enrolled.
