Activities
Projects
Currently, I am busy in developing new research projects in the area of Data for Good, mostly in the form of data collaboratives.
I am a team member of the following research projects:
- FluOutlook, a web platform for the exploration of data-driven seasonal influenza forecasts.
- GLEAM, a large-scale data driven epidemic model for the forecasts of pandemic spread.
- SocioPatterns, an interdisciplinary research collaboration that adopts sensing methodologies to measure social dynamics and coordinated human activity.
In the past, I have been supported by the following EC funded grants:
I am one of the founders of DataBeers Torino, an informal networking event that aims at building a community of data lovers in Torino.
