I'm a Senior Data Scientist currently working in the renewable energy sector at Lightsource bp. Before that I was a Data Scientist at Tesco where I worked both in the Forecasting and in the Search and Recommendation teams.

I hold an industrial PhD in computer science from the University of York carried out full-time within a major Japanese video-game publisher (Square Enix) in London. My thesis focused on how to blend neuroscientific theories of motivation with deep learning model for estimating motivational states and predicting behavioral engagement.

Before that I was a research intern between Ghent and Padua where I focused on the study of the reward process both from a behavioral and psychobiological perspective.

I hold a master and bachelor degree in psychology from the Univeristy of Padua.
