For students

My group hosts qualified undergraduate (laurea triennale e specialistica) and PhD (dottorato) students willing to work on computation-based projects. Mentoring will take place in collaboration with an academic advisor (relatore interno) at your home institution.

Projects are currently available in the following research areas (inquire for details):

• Statistical learning algorithms and their application in biomolecular simulations, computational chemistry, and other big data sets.

• Adaptation of biostatistical algorithms and models, with their application to, e.g., disease progression, survival prediction, and motion analysis.

What you need:

• A degree-in-the-making: engineering, physics, and chemistry and biology (as long as you have an interest in quantitative and computational aspects) courses will usually find interesting and challenging projects.

• A reasonable knowledge of computer programming and of the English language.

• A supporting professor in your home institution ("relatore interno"). 

What you get:

• You will be developing analysis methods with the aim to contribute to actual, ongoing research and scholarly papers. 

• You will learn to use state-of-the-art software, methods and development practices.  

• Supervision generally occurs via a combination of on-site and remote sessions.

• We'll collaborate with Italian or foreign institutions, depending on your interest, topic, and availability of data.
