Rossano Schifanella
Rossano Schifanella is an associate professor of computer science at the University of Turin and a researcher at ISI Foundation, where he is a member of the Data Science for Social Impact and Sustainability group. His research embraces the creative energy of a range of disciplines across machine learning, urban science, computational social science, complex systems, and data visualization. He leverages data-driven approaches to model the behavior of (groups of) individuals and their interactions in space and time, aiming at understanding the interplay between online and offline social behavior. He is passionate about understanding the dynamics of complex phenomena in modern cities and building interactive web interfaces to explore urban spaces and access human knowledge through geography.
Jacqui Chetty
Dr. Jacqui Chetty is a Lecturer in the School of Computer Science at the University of Birmingham, UK.
Her current research interests include Gamification, and Teaching and learning within a COVID-19 environment.
Giulia Cisotto
Giulia Cisotto is an Assistant Professor (tenure-track) at the Department of Mathematics, Informatics, and Geosciences of the University of Trieste (Italy). She is an IEEE Senior member and a GRIN member. Her research activity is mainly focused on the processing and modeling of complex systems via machine learning and deep learning techniques, with particular expertise in multi-dimensional electroencephalographic (EEG) time-series. She has always been collaborating with several companies and research Hospitals to promote the impact of academic research into the Society. She is also active in the dissemination of science (as a member of the Association "La Via delle Scienze", Italy) and in the promotion of innovative teaching of science in the Academia.
