Software Engineer and innovation enthusiast, looking to combine two passions: science of sound and computer programming. My career started with my passion for music: attracted by the science of sound, I decided to pursue my studies on Sound Engineering. This experience led me to explore scientific innovation helping the Bruno Kessler Foundation (FBK) on developing a speech recognize based tool to support teachers in the task of detect children's reading disorder by automatically finding the reading errors . I'm now working with Pedius, a startup that offer customer cares and assistance services for deaf people to help them both on simple tasks and manage emergencies. Project title: Phone calls event identification system for deaf users Contact: s.artuso@pedius.org

I'm interested in statistical and computational physics, i.e. in the investigation of the possibile links between physics and artificial intelligence and machine learning. I deepened the stydy of statistical mechanics and critical phenomena, with the stydy of the behavior of basic models ( the Ising Model mostly) in which many elementary entities interact with each other and give rise to collective phenomena. The project I'm working on aims to test how, for an artificial agent, an autonomous exploration of its sorrounding environment can be useful to perform externally assigned tasks. The learning phase should consist of the agent self-generating its own targets and goals, so that knowledge about the world and skills in interacting with its elements can be acquired and then can result useful during the test phase.

Despite the choice of my field of studies, I 'm fascinated by the brain and the way in which, by elaborating information, it manages to build representations of the body and the surrounding world, giving rise to mind and behavior. I would like to be able to connect my understanding of the mechanisms underlying the nervous system - that is, biology and mathematical modeling associated with the dynamics of a single neuron, of synapses and neuronal populations - with a high level knowledge of how information comes processed on a large scale to give rise to behavior. I would therefore like to acquire specific knowledge in the field of computational neuroscience and artificial intelligence. I believe in fact that decision-making algorithms will play a fundamental role in the enterprise of decoding neuronal activity.

In AS-AI, I am working on my thesis that will be about face recognition; I will also look at how a "damage" of the artificial neural network can be useful in the reproduction and study of prosopagnosia (inability to recognize human faces). I am starting to think about how can be managed the new education system in AI2Life and increase the quality and opportunity to develop students' soft skills during the studying period and after. contact: dtetesi@gmail.com

Currently working full time as Project Manager and Business Strategist for Real Estate and Green Energy SMEs. In the AI world my ambition is to apply Agent Based Modelling to gain valuable insights on Complex Systems. I believe the study of Emergent Phenomena and Systems Dynamics can be a useful resource for companies and policy makers. It can help predict consumer trends, plan urban spaces, understand customer behaviours, expose supply chain problems, analyse financial products and much more. Right now, inspired by Lo’s Adaptive Market Theory and Buchanan’s Econophysics ideas, I’m working on an Agent Based Model of Financial Markets. I’m constantly looking for innovative start-ups to join, support or invest in.

Just graduated in Philosophy of Science in the field of epistemic and conceptual problems of modern physics. My goal is to merge philosophical research in the scientific field with applied research of artificial intelligence in both the physical and neuroscientific fields. Project Title: eAttention.

A Linux hobbyist by day. By night, I like a healthy sleep schedule. In between, my interests include wanting to apply/exploit the findings and principles of Complex Adaptive Systems and Neuroscience in unconventional robotics and AI. Specifically, to study the evolution of locomotion and motor control for bio-inspired robots. As a weak interest, I like to think and learn about societal systems as dynamical systems for tea time. Project Title: GOAL Robots. Contact: richardxf@protonmail.com

I studied physics to find out why the sky is blue (and not green). This whole thing went out of hand and led me to work as an astronomer at the Universities of Utrecht, Nijmegen and Bonn. I joined Deep Blue in 2019 and have since been involved in several EU-funded projects devoted to investigating different aspects of the Aviation domain, such as: its impact on the Earth climate and measures to reduce it; the development of an integrated risk assessment framework and of a taxonomy of Human-Factors-related incidents and accidents in the aviation and maritime domains; the interconnections and integration of the European air transport system with other transport modes; and the development of methodologies for trajectory prediction in the pre-tactical phase of air traffic control.

I attained a MA in Law at the University of Torino. After my degree, I obtained a Master's degree in Cybersecurity at the University of Pisa and CNR. For 20 years I have carried out technology transfer on data center technologies at a research organization in Turin for the Public Administration and for small and medium-sized enterprises. I have followed the evolution of cloud computing since the beginning and I have carried out project and developed activities for the construction of private clouds. I am currently interested in the evolution of artificial intelligence and specifically the impact it has on cloud computing, cybersecurity and computational linguistics.

Passionate about science and robotics since childhood, I studied electronics and computer science with a focus on scientific applications. During my past experience at CERN I also got familiar with hard problems, big teams, multicultural environments and particle physics. Currently, as CTO at Entersys, I'm looking into ways of applying AI methods to meet the information and automation needs of small and growing businesses.

During my studies, I developed a strong interest for bioinformatics applied to the study of the human genome. I am currently a researcher in bioinformatics, working on the analysis of data coming from DNA sequencing and I am focused on trying to understand how DNA sequence variants can contribute to the onset of human diseases. Since DNA sequencing experiments generate a huge amount of data, they require several tools to be analyzed. In this context, my goal is to deeply understand how AI methods work and how to choose their best application to integrate and develop new tools to analyze DNA sequencing data, with the intent to improve our knowledge on human genome.

I attained a MA in Linguistics at the University of Bologna, in which I developed a strong interest in the intersection between language and technology. After my degree, I started a career in Computational Linguistics. I am currently employed as a Solutions Consultant at a leading company in Artificial Intelligence applied to text. In this role, I coordinate the successful delivery of end-to-end AI solutions for the automation of language-intensive processes. By attending AS-AI, I pursue the goal of deepening my comprehension of the potential of Machine Learning approaches in building real-world NLP applications. Also, I would like to investigate the social impact of AI and the risks associated with large-scale deployment of language-based technology. As a general goal, I am keen to integrate the knowledge that I will absorb during the school with my professional skills, so to be able to actively contribute to the research in the AI and NLP fields.

Since my adolescence, I have had a deep passion for neuroscience and informatics. I have chosen the AS-AI because I’m interested to explore new solutions, starting from the study of the brain and arriving at the creation of new applications in the AI field. Specifically, I love the idea that scientific research can improve people's quality of life, through the advancement of methods of prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. My research field focuses on behavioral addictions, autism spectrum disorders, and mindfulness. Contact: Francesco Mainiero (francescoiga7@gmail.com)

I am a Ph.D candidate in Business Management. My research interest is to understand how "Digital Transformation" affects organizations. For my future career I believe it is necessary to develop technical knowledge to be competitive on the job market.
