I studied Social Science at the University of Pisa and I have graduated in Sociology at the University of Milano-Bicocca. My thesis focuses on job search with public employment services. During my studies, it is increased my interest in statistics and data analysis. I decided to attend the Master in Big Data Analytics and Social Mining so as to learn new methods and thecniques which are very important for the study of contemporary society.

Born in Lucca. I obtained the following qualifications at the University of Pisa: Degree in "Electronic Engineering" (1989) "Electronic Calculators" - 109/110, University Master in "Internet Technologies" (2005) Faculty of Engineering and CNR - High rating, University Master in "Development of Mobile Applications" (2012) Department of Computer Science - Excellent judgment with honors. I work at the research department of "Fabio Perini SpA" in Lucca, where I work on the subjects of "industrial automation" and "Industry 4.0". It prompted me to participate to the Master in "Big Data Analytics & Social Mining" the will to stay up to date and learn new technologies with particular reference to the techniques of "artificial intelligence" and "Machine Learning".

I look for a compass to navigate in a stormy sea

Born in Rome and raised in Abruzzo, I have been living in Bologna for a long time now. I have received my master’s degree in Computer Science from the University of Pisa, and I have worked in the last 18 years as software architect / developer for Prometeia s.p.a. At Prometeia, I mainly dealt with implementation of financial risk management software (Asset & Liability Management – Market Risk) and management of teams composed of developers and analysts in regulatory projects (Basel III – IFRS9/IFRS13 accounting) with special attention to critical optimization and fast data processing topics. Always computer science and new technologies enthusiast, I decided to attend the Master in Big Data Analytics and Social Mining to be part of what I believe is one of the most exciting revolutions in the field of information technology in recent years.

Born in Pisa, I graduated in Economics and Commerce and later in Marketing and Market Research at the University of Pisa, with experimental thesis on happiness induced in consumers by the acquisition of material and experiential goods. My studies have stimulated an interest in consumer behavior, CRM and business performance analysis in marketing campaigns. I am also interested in the areas of Data Visualization and Machine Learning, which I consider very useful to add to my knowledge. The master in Big Data offers me a wide range of tools to increase my skills, as well as fundamental notions of computer science and programming.

He is from Rome and he holds a Bachelor’s degree in Biology and a Post graduate Master’s degree in Biological Oceanography and Marine Biology. The experience and the knowledge he gained in the scientific and IT field both during the internship and doing research for his thesis project at ISPRA (Istituto Superiore per la Protezione e la Ricerca Ambientale), led him to comprehend how important it is, for a scientific team, to have a professional figure skilful at elaborating and interpreting data. Therefore, he decided to enrol in the Big Data & Social Mining Specialization Course at the University of Pisa, setting the goal of acquiring the typical Data Scientist skills in order to employ them in scientific research, as well as in its decisional process, focusing on their application in the environmental field.

I was born in Grosseto in 1992. I got my B.Sc. in Physics and Advanced Technology at the University of Siena and my M.Sc. in Physics at the University of Pisa, where I attended some Medical Physics courses. Driven by curiosity about Data Science application in medicine, I decided to attend this Master because I would like to learn other application fields to broaden my work horizons.

Born in Macerata in 1987, he studied Theoretical Physics in Pisa and graduated in 2014. During his years of study, he was able to take part in the ethical and political issues of Big Data, especially those coming from social media. He worked for two years in an IT company (Advanced Computer Systems S.r.l.) on a software automation control project. In 2017 he enrolled in the Master in Big Data & Social Mining with the aim of obtaining more specific knowledge of the world of Data Science.

My name is Ignazio, I’m 25 and I am from Sardinia, where I lived until 18. I then moved to Pisa where I obtained a BA in History and Philosophy. I participated in an Erasmus exchange programme and studied in Corte (France), where I worked on my dissertation. I started a master's degree in Mass Media and Politics at the University of Bologna and acquired skills in political communication and public opinion analysis. In 2017 I was awarded a scholarship to spend five months in Russia at the People’s Friendship University of Russia. There I had the opportunity to study at the school of International Journalism and started a research project on public opinion analysis, which later inspired my master’s dissertation. I graduated with honours in 2017. During the university years I worked for three Italian newspapers as an editor and a journalist and was in charge of the online newspaper Cronacastorica.net.

Stefano was born in Turin on 1987. He earned a BSc in Physics from the University of Turin with a dissertation on the processes of epidemic diffusion on complex networks. He then obtained a Master's degree in Astrophysics and Theoretical Physics from the same university. His dissertation is entitled: "Statistical Inference and Criticality". Stefano collaborated with an IT company in compiling statistics on football events and currently works as a scientific communicator for primary and secondary school children at a teaching laboratory in Turin.
