Work History
Research Thesis
University of Pisa
03.2024 - 12.2024
- Working on a thesis project in computational neuroscience, using advanced data science tools to analyze MRI data from the Human Connectome Project (HCP).
- Developing a graph model of the nervous system, with nodes representing brain areas and edges representing neural activation correlations.
- Focusing on the mirror neuron system, analyzing its structure through metrics like modularity, centrality, and clustering coefficient.
- Applying Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) to predict neurological disorders such as autism and schizophrenia, historically linked to dysfunctions in the mirror neuron system.
Junior Data Analyst
Digital Angels
07.2024 - Current
- Specialize in data analysis within the digital marketing sector, focusing on the development of advanced Marketing Mix Models.
- Leverage machine learning and artificial neural networks to improve campaign performance, optimize costs, and maximize ROI.
Research Internship
University of Parma
07.2021 - 07.2023
- Conducted an in-depth analysis of ELSA (English Longitudinal Study of Ageing) data to assess the impact of depression and social isolation on dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.
- Analyzed longitudinal data from 1998 onward, with a focus on the period of social restrictions during the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Compared two cohorts: heterosexual individuals over 60 and LGBTQ+ individuals over 60, identifying significant differences in neurodegenerative symptom progression.
- Quantified the acceleration of neurodegenerative symptoms linked to pandemic-related isolation, providing insights into the risk factors for minority groups in neurodegenerative diseases.
