Creating a liveable future with data-driven urban research!
Hi, I'm Marina!๐
I always liked numbers, order and organization. Most of all, I like creating, and I see data as a piece of scattered LEGO's that have to be put in order to make a story with an impact. ๐งฑ
That's exactly what I do daily: I dive into big datasets of various types, in order to find insights that will advance the field and help businesses and institutions in their decision-making processes. I'm skilled in all steps of data science process: from data collection and processing, application of statistical methods (including machine learning algorithms) to data visualization and results communication to various stakeholders. My background in Information Processing helped me build a strong technical foundation, with a particular focus on Image Processing. On the other hand, my student years and memberships in some student organizations thought me soft skills like public speaking, communication, negotiation, teamwork and leadership.
Now, after 4 years in Urban Data Science field and valuable experience at 2 Italian Research Foundations, I've found contentment in my current path. Yet so, I've been captivated by the idea of exploring the imaging field, applied to both healthcare and earth observation/ remote sensing. While I still have a strong interest in continuing my current work, the allure of venturing into imaging field presents an enticing opportunity for my professional growth.
Currently, I'm expanding my knowledge and learning about cloud services (AWS and Azure) and model deployment and monitoring (Docker and Kubernetes), with an aim to become an all-encompassing Data Scientist.
Fun facts:
- I can make a conversation in 5 languages (๐ญ๐ท, ๐ฌ๐ง, ๐ฎ๐น, ๐ช๐ธ and ๐ฉ๐ช).
- While studying for my MSc, I was the main organizer of an international student conference in the capital of my country and I managed to convince the President of the Republic to support it with a high-patronage!
