I graduated and obtained a PhD in computer science, my research interests initially focused on e-learning and later on intelligent systems. I worked in the field of recommendation systems. After my PhD and two research fellowships, I worked for more than 10 years in a small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) in Bari as the head of the research and development area. I then returned to the University first as a research manager and later as a technologist in the METROFOOD-IT project (a role I currently hold). In the group I belong to, I am involved in data analysis, particularly studying the relationship between nutrition and health in various forms and contexts.
