Giulio Rossetti

Giulio Rossetti is a permanent researcher at the Institute of Information Science and Technologies "A. Faedo" (ISTI) of the National Research Council of Italy (CNR) in Pisa. He is a member of the Knowledge and Data Mining Laboratory (KDD Lab), a joint research group of ISTI-CNR and the University of Pisa. His academic appointments include teaching "Social Network Analysis" and "Programming for Data Science" courses within the Master Degrees in "Data Science" and "Digital Humanities" at the University of Pisa since 2018, and providing teaching support for various data science courses since 2015.

His educational background includes:

• 2007: Bachelor Degree in Computer Science at University of Pisa
• 2011: Master Degree in Computer Science at University of Pisa
• 2015: PhD in Computer Science at University of Pisa

Dr. Rossetti's research centers on algorithms for complex network analysis and data science, with a focus on modeling dynamics of and on network topologies, including dynamic community discovery and diffusion/spreading phenomena. His work also involves developing data-driven models for forecasting rare events. His research has significant applications in social network analysis, human mobility modeling, and understanding information diffusion patterns in online communities.

His recent publications demonstrate a strong focus on dynamic network analysis, community detection in evolving networks, and applications to social media platforms like Reddit. His work spans theoretical algorithm development and practical applications in areas such as political polarization, music preference analysis, and epidemiological modeling. The interdisciplinary nature of his research connects computer science with social sciences, public health, and urban planning.

His scientific achievements have been recognized with multiple awards:

• ISTI Young Researcher Award (2012, 2014, 2017, 2018, 2019)
• ISTI Young Open Science Award (2020)

While the text doesn't explicitly mention PhD students he advises, Dr. Rossetti has been actively involved in teaching and mentoring through his roles in Master's degree programs at the University of Pisa. His research has been supported through various projects including SoBigData++, HumMingBird, SoBigData.eu, MineTheNet, and CIMPLEX, indicating substantial grant funding for his work in social mining and big data analytics.

As a core member of the Knowledge and Data Mining Laboratory (KDD Lab), Dr. Rossetti collaborates with researchers from both ISTI-CNR and the University of Pisa. His work connects with international research communities, as evidenced by his visiting scholar position at the Pontifical Catholic University in Rio de Janeiro in 2013 and collaboration with Estonian researchers in 2014.
