Luca Calatroni

Università di Genova

Luca Calatroni is an Associate Professor at the Department of Informatics, Bioengineering, Robotics and Systems Engineering (DIBRIS) at the University of Genoa, affiliated with the MaLGa Center and the Italian Institute of Technology (IIT).
He leads the Computational Imaging & Learning (CIL) unit at MaLGa, where his research lies at the intersection of mathematical modeling, optimization, and machine learning for computational imaging.
His work develops advanced variational and learning-based methods for solving inverse problems, with broad applications across scientific imaging, including fluorescence microscopy, computational photography, digital heritage restoration, and biomedical imaging.
He holds a PhD in Applied Mathematics from the University of Cambridge and has held research positions at École Polytechnique and CNRS I3S in Sophia Antipolis. He is the recipient of a prestigious ERC Starting Grant for the project MALIN.

Marco Viceconti

Istituto Ortopedico Rizzoli and Alma Mater Studiorum Università di Bologna - DIN UNIBO

Marco Viceconti is a full professor of industrial bioengineering in the Department of Industrial Engineering at the Alma Mater Studiorum – University of Bologna. Before that, he was at the University of Sheffield, UK, where he founded and led the prestigious Insigneo Institute for in silico Medicine for seven years. Prof Viceconti is an expert in in silico medicine and the use of predictive models to support clinical decision-making. He founded the VPH Institute, an international non-profit organisation that coordinates this research community, and drove the creation of the Avicenna Alliance, representing the biomedical industry interests in this domain. He served as president of the European Society of Biomechanics and the European Alliance for Medical and Biological Engineering and Science, and he was a member of the World Council of Biomechanics. In 2018, he became a Fellow of the UK Royal Academy of Engineering; in 2021, he received the Huiskes Medal for Biomechanics. According to SCOPUS, he published 416 papers (H-index = 60) and is among the first ten bioengineers in the Top Italian Scientists ranking.

Costanza Catalano

Banca d'Italia

Costanza Catalano is expert statistician at the Central Bank of Italy, working in the Applied Research team of the Directorate General for Information Technology.

Costanza holds both a M.Sc. and a Ph.D. in Mathematics, respectively from Università degli Studi di Firenze and GSSI-SISSA.

Before joining Bank of Italy, she was a Post-doc fellow at the Department of Mathematical Sciences at Politecnico di Torino and at the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at Università degli Studi di Firenze.

Her interests lie in anything that revolves around networks, at the intersection of theoretical computer science, discrete mathematics and probability.

In particular, she is interested in algorithmic problems and probabilistic models on graphs, with applications to economy, social sciences and transport networks. At the moment, she works on Knowledge graphs, automated reasoning and scalable algorithms in financial domains.
