Committees

Associate Professor of Applied Physics at the University of Bari, currently coordinating national and European research projects focused on data analysis technologies for biomedical and life science applications. Research activity includes image processing, machine learning, complex networks, and explainable artificial intelligence, with interdisciplinary applications in brain connectivity, microbiome, exposome, and food science.

Full Professor of Analytical Chemistry at the University of Parma, she is currently representing the University of Parma in the European Infrastructure METROFOOD-RI “Metrology in Food and Nutrition”. Her research focuses on analytical mass-spectrometry for omics related to life and food sciences coupled to chemometrics, novel materials for analytical applications, electron microscopy imaging, electronic sensing systems and machine learning for food safety and authenticity.

Full Professor of Analytical Chemistry at Sapienza University of Rome, his research focuses on chemometrics, covering both the application of data analysis methods to real-world problems and the development of new algorithms. He has been a visiting researcher at several international institutions and is Editor-in-Chief of Chemometrics and Intelligent Laboratory Systems. Author of over 300 publications, he also serves on the editorial boards of major journals and coordinates the Chemometrics Task Group of DAC-EuCheMS.

Postdoctoral Researcher at the National Institute of Nuclear Physics (INFN), Bari, Italy. Holds a Ph.D. from the University of Bari Aldo Moro, with a dissertation focused on the application of artificial intelligence to agri-food systems within the disciplinary area of Applied Physics. Research activity involves explainable AI (XAI) and network science methods for the study of complex systems in healthcare, environmental analysis, and food science.

Technologist at the University of Bari Aldo Moro, affiliated with the Department of Soil, Plant and Food Sciences. Currently manages the high-performance computing (HPC) infrastructure for the METROFOOD-IT project, a PNRR-funded initiative aimed at strengthening metrology in the agri-food field through the use of high-tech tools and supercomputers. Responsibilities include the supervision of the HPC cluster to ensure efficient and reliable data analysis operations.
