Flavia Esposito is a Research Fellow at the Department of Mathematics at the University of Bari "Aldo Moro" (Rtd A in Numerical Analysis). Her research interests focus on mathematics for data science. She work in the MIDAS group since 2014 with research topics ranging from Dimensionality reduction techniques and matrix decompositions to optimization with the study of hyperparameter tuning in machine learning problems. Her main goal is to understand the mathematics behind data analysing it in different application domains such as bioinformatics and enviromental field.
