Manuel is a Senior Data Scientist, with a Theoretical Physics background.
He studied Physics in Rome and later got his PhD at University of York, United Kingdom. His academic activity was recognised with two prestigious prizes:
- The 2019 Sam Edwards PhD Prize, from the Institute of Physics, for the best PhD Condensed Matter Physics Thesis in the United Kingdom and Ireland
- The 2019 K M Stott Prize, from the University of York, for the best Physics PhD Thesis
He also obtained an MBA essentials certificate from the London School of Economics and Political Science.
He is fascinated with Science, but thinks there is still a gap to bridge between Science and the so-called "real-world". In his opinion, Data Science is a powerful mean to have our society adopt a more scientific mindset, which he is confident it will bring enormous benefits to it.
