Andrea Rossi

Before joining the SFI Centre for Research Training in Artificial Intelligence, Andrea received a 1H in bot Bachelors in Information Engineering and Masters in Computer Engineering from the University of Padova, Italy. His Master thesis: Machine Learning-based Signal Generation Strategies for High-Speed Optical Transmitters involving the optimisation of the optical fibre transmission by precompensating impairments using neural networks was overseen and carried out at Tyndall National Institute in Cork with the Photonics Systems Group. During the course of his studies, he also taught for three years in his former high school to help prepare secondary school students for the University entrance test and for the local selection of Mathematical Olympiads. “I’m really fascinated by AI and algorithms and in particular on Optimisation and Machine Learning with a broad range of applications, from logistics to finance. My passion for problem-solving always drives me as there are great challenges to overcome.”.
Currently, Andrea is working on predictive models and optimisation for cloud computing resource provisioning.
