We are glad to announce the first annual PhD event in Computer Science research, hosted by the Department of Computer Science of the University of Pisa. The event will be structured in three main sessions: Big Data & Artificial Intelligence, Industry 4.0 and beyond, Internships and Awards. Students will pitch for 10 mins about the results contained in their PhD thesis, or about worth-to-mention internship experiences in companies, or about awards they got in 2018 for their researches.
A stunning half-day event, with a number of inspiring presentations given by our PhD students on their research achievements, innovation impact and future research perspectives.
The event is totally free and open to everyone. Undergraduate students, professors, researchers as well as innovators and companies are warmly invited to attend.
The event will be broadcasted in live-streaming on the Mediateca platform of the University of Pisa.
Below there is the agenda of the event, click here for its printable version.
The full video of the event can now be watched on-line, while the file containing all slides presented during the event can be downloaded here.
If you are interested in a particular talk, in the Agenda section you can now find his/her slides as well as the direct link to the video of his/her talk.
Our PhD colleague Farzad Vaziri kindly took the pictures of the whole event, from its beginning to the concluding networking buffet. The collection of photos of the PhDEvent2019 are now available here!

Giovanna Broccia is a PhD student in Computer Science at the University of Pisa. Her interests lie into different domains such as Modelling, Simulation, and Verification of Systems, Cognitive Science, Human-Machine Interaction and Formal Methods. Her PhD focused on the design of a model of Safety-Critical Human Multitasking, namely a model which describes the cognitive mechanisms in a multitasking interaction with safety-critical systems.
Francesco Crecchi is a PhD student in Computer Science at the Computational Intelligence and Machine Learning Group (CIML). His main research interests lie at the intersection of Machine Learning, Computer Security, and Formal Verification Methods.
Daniele De Sensi is a Post-Doc researcher at the Computer Science Department of the University of Pisa. His doctoral work is focused on the design of algorithms that enforce power and performance requirements on Parallel Applications via the use of Online Learning techniques. He is also interested in parallel Programming Models, Network Processing Applications and HPC Interconnection Networks.
Stefano Forti received the Master's degree in Computer Science and networking jointly from the Sant'Anna School of Advanced Studies and the University of Pisa, where he is currently pursuing the PhD degree at the Department of Computer Science. His current research interests include Fog, Cloud, and Service-oriented Computing and Formal Methods and Algorithms.
PhD in Computer Science at University of Florence. Now assistant professor at University of Pisa. Past member as Post-Doc of the Laboratory of Web Algorithmics at University of Milan. Interested in algorithms for complex networks analysis and for listing patterns in networks. Co-author of the current best algorithms to compute diameter, top-central nodes, and other measures in real-world networks, as well as state-of-the-art algorithms for community detection in huge networks.
Giulio Masetti got his Master's degree in Mathematics and he is now a PhD student in Computer Science at the University of Pisa. His research involves Stochastic Petri Nets and their dialects, modeling of Smart Grids, Submodel Compositional Operators.
Andrea Michienzi is a PhD student in Computer Science at Università di Pisa and since April 2018 he is an associate researcher at the ISTI-CNR in Pisa in the High Performance Computing lab. Currently he is investigating techniques for complex network analysis of temporal graphs as support for the development of Distributed Online Social Networks.
Giulio Ermanno Pibiri received his Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering from the University of Florence in 2012 and Master's degree in Computer Science and Networking from the University of Pisa (joint with Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna) in 2015.
