PhD Student
I am a PhD student enrolled in the Computer and Data Science for Technological and Social Innovation (CDS-TSI) program at the Department of Physics, Informatics and Mathematics (FIM) of the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia (UNIMORE).
My PhD scholarship focuses on the application of Data Analytics and Machine Learning (ML) for Predictive, Preventive, Personalized and Participatory Medicine (P4M). My principal collaborators are Prof. Federica Mandreoli and Dr. Veronica Guidetti (ISGROUP), Prof. Giovanni Guaraldi and Dr. Jovana Milić from the Modena HIV Metabolic Clinic (MHMC) and Infectious Disease (ID) Unit of Modena University Hospital. While at an international level Prof. Paolo Missier (UoB) and Davide Ferrari (KCL).
My current research activity is on the design and development of an Incremental Data Preparation framework; designed to assist in detecting, debugging, and resolving data-drifts within data-engineering pipelines, particularly in the healthcare domain.
I got my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in computer science at UNIMORE; the former was about the design and development of a scalable and anonymous web crawler for the automation of web searches (supervisor Dr. Mauro Andreolini) whilst the latter was about the prediction of patients’ state transitions through HMM during the Covid-19 pandemic (Supervisor Prof. F Mandreoli, co-supervisor Davide Ferrari).
In the past I worked with Dr. Paolo Valente on the optimization of BFQ, a soft-real-time I/O scheduler for Linux. In detail, I developed and tested new features for the kernel module (commits 8993d445, 2d29c9f8, 98fa7a3e, ba7aeae5; merged upstream), as well as for the respective I/O benchmarking suite (8 commits).
My professional experience encompasses a diverse range of activities within the areas of algorithm design, software development and profiling, systems architecture design and maintenance.
