Biography

I am 25 years old, I currently live in Pisa and I am student of the Master of Science course in Artificial Intelligence at the Computer Science department, University of Pisa. I have working experience as researcher in Machine Learning e Data Science for migration studies and predictions at HumMingBird - EU Horizon 2020 project. I am also a tech writer for Analytics Vidhya and Towards AI communities on Medium. During my studies I gained deep expertise in Data Science, Deep Learning and Neural Network models. I also became really interested in AI ethics.
