Alessia Antelmi

Alessia Antelmi is an Assistant Professor (RTD-A) in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Turin, where she contributes to the Parallel Computing Group. Her work bridges theoretical computer science with real-world applications in social and technological systems.

Her educational background includes:

• Ph.D. in Computer Science with honors from the University of Salerno, focusing on diffusion phenomena modeling using high-order networks

Her research centers on complex network structures and human behavior in digital environments:

• Develops hypergraph representation learning techniques for modeling complex relationships
• Investigates social influence diffusion and user behavior evolution in online networks
• Designs agent-based simulations for large-scale system analysis
• Creates tools for data literacy and knowledge graph education

Her approach integrates mathematical modeling with computational experimentation to address challenges in social dynamics and information systems.

Analysis of her 15 recent publications (2023-2025) reveals three dominant trends: hypergraph-based methods for complex data representation, large-scale analysis of online communities using agent-based models, and educational tools for data literacy. Her work increasingly incorporates LLMs for social network analysis while maintaining strong theoretical foundations in network science.

Her scientific recognition includes:

• Best paper nominee at CSEDU 2023 for open data education research
• Best paper nominee at AsiaSim 2019 for Rust-based simulation frameworks

She has secured competitive research funding:

• 55,200 DKK grant under the COCOONS project (2023) led by Prof. Luca Maria Aiello at IT University of Copenhagen
• Erasmus+ Traineeship grant (2018) to work with Prof. John Breslin at Galway's Data Science Institute

Though no advisees are listed, her collaborative publications suggest active mentorship in computational research.

She actively contributes to the Parallel Computing Group at the University of Turin, developing frameworks like SWH-Analytics for large-scale software analysis and HypergraphRepository for community-driven data curation.
