Born in 1963, I graduated in computer science at university of Pisa in 1989. Currently I am a teacher of computer science in a programmers course at a businness institute in Cagliari. Always passionate and attracted by information technology and the sciences in general, I worked as IT consultant too, gaining expertise in software development, in data bases management and systems management, collaborating with private companies, with the University of Cagliari and the Research and Development Center for Advanced Studies in Sardinia (CRS4). I participate in the master to acquire new skills in both computer science, and in the data science field, in order to to make new work experiences.

In 2015 he earned a master's degree in Governance and Global System at the University of Cagliari, during this time he deepened his studies on regional and global security analysis at the University of Wrocław, Poland. He concluded his studies in Scotland where made a thesis on the effects of a hypothetical Scottish independence on the UK socio-economic security. Hence he decided to attend the Master in Big Data Analysis to expand his social analysis knowledge and interest in Machine Learning methods.

Born in province of Vicenza on the 04/25/1988. He moved to Padova, where he graduated in in Business and Administration (bachelor degree), then to Venice where he obtained the master degree in Economics and Finance with the top grade and a dissertation about crowdfunding in Italy. During that period, he had the opportunity to spend an academic year at ICMA Center in Berkshire (UK). After the studies, he joined a consultancy firm operating on company’s evaluation, market analysis and business planning. During that time, he worked also with start-ups and this has increased his interest on innovation. He discovered the phenomenon of big data and he started to be interested in it, especially for what regards production activities and business prevision and planning.

Born in Palermo in 1986, graduated in Rome in Law. His work in different environments of law firms and business companies leads him to use storage and process systems of information. He then decided to strenghten such acquired familiarity, expanding it in the field of Big Data Analytics.

I was born in Molfetta (BA) in 1992. I went to the University of Padova where I majored in Philosophical science in 2015 (I also made a research period in Lyon, France) with a B.A. about the poetic metaphor and the scientific model, looking for some kind of connections between the two fields of research. While i was studying the theories about the knowledge possibilities of the human being, I began to analyze the contribution of the information technology in the comprehnesion of reality. I started the master in Big Data and Social Mining here in Pisa to face a new context for me because I think that the analysis of the datas will be soon a fundamental instrument to understand the reality.

Graduate of Computer Engineering at the University of Pisa where obtained both my Bachelor and Master’s degrees, and spent a year living and working in London as a Software Development Engineer. Joined the Research National Team of Pisa’s Social Sensing project in which the research activities deal with social media analysis e social media mining, social sensing, knowledge discovery, web mining e computational social science. Always looking to learn new things and enthusiastic and positive attitude when it comes to work and enjoy facing and overcoming the challenges that come with working in the IT industry.

A native of Rome, I completed my master's degree in Economics (Quantitative Finance) in 2016, at University of Rome “Tor Vergata". My graduate thesis focused on gap risk measure for a portfolio covered by a CPPI strategy. After graduating, I worked as a business consultant for a software house for a year, but I understood that, given my inclination for IT and the increasing importance big data have in our world, I wanted to pursue a career in data science. This led me to the University of Pisa's Big Data Analytics course, in order to acquire necessary skills and knowledge in the data analysis field, something I consider as a natural extension of my past quantitative studies.

I studied at the University of Siena (BA, MPhil), where I also received my PhD in Cultural Anthropology in 2012. Between 2007 and 2013 I carried out three fieldwork periods (in total seventeen months) in Nicosia (Cyprus). This experience allowed me to start my collaboration with Osservatorio Balcani e Caucaso, a think tank I have been working for as a correspondent since 2011. From 2013 to February 2017 I worked at the University of Catanzaro as a postdoc fellow in sociology of health and adjunct professor of social and medical anthropology. I spent part of my postdoc at the University of Oxford (Department of Social Policy and Intervention). My interest for the analysis of big data and the decision to apply for this master grew out of my persuasion that we can properly understand and operate within our societies only if we face and make the most of the digital dimension of our existence.

I am a young biomedical engineer, I founded a start-up called IMADROM which provides preclinical and clinical drugs development services, and where my actual position is software division manager. Once I completed my master’s degree at University of Pisa, my strong interest toward technological innovation led me to achieve a PhD Neuroscience. During my academic studies, I had the chance to do an internship for 1 year at Maastricht University, where I developed a groundbreaking biomolecular imaging technique, being able to perform in-depth analysis for cerebral metabolic maps via MRS (Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy). In my professional activity, I have been working closely with hospitals and research centers, finding myself dealing with HTA themes (Health Technology Assessment). From this experience, I understood that being able to handle efficiently a high amount of heterogeneous and sensitive data is indeed crucial to support the decision process in this field.

Born in Palermo in 1982 and grew up between this city and Paris. Ended up in a master in big data analytics after a path trough space and disciplines. After a beginning in engineering, he obtains a bachelor in Philosophy at the University of Palermo in 2007, then he continues with studies in history and sociology of science and technology at the EHESS of Paris. Here he later graduates in philosophy and cognitive science in 2009. In 2014 he earns a PhD in philosophy and social sciences between the EHESS of Paris and the University of Turin with a dissertation on the perception ad logical structure of images. During the PhD he is visiting student at the University of Edinburgh and visiting scholar at the University of British Columbia. He becomes interested in data science because of a growing passion for the quantitative study of social phenomena, namely in the context of information and communication technology.
