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.
