Stefano Coniglio is an Associate Professor of Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence at the University of Bergamo (UniBg), where he joined in 2022 after earning his PhD in Information Technology from the Polytechnic University of Milan in 2011 and conducting research abroad in Germany and the United Kingdom for ten years. His research focuses on deep learning models, machine learning using neural networks, algorithm design and analysis, and mathematical optimization. With over 50 scientific publications in international journals and conference proceedings, his work spans multiple domains including energy systems, medical applications, and theoretical computer science. Coniglio has made significant contributions to graph neural networks, as evidenced by his highly cited papers on quaternion-valued Laplacians and directional hypergraph neural networks. His research trends show a strong interdisciplinary approach, with publications bridging computer science with energy systems, cardiology, and mathematical optimization. His work on S-ICD screening demonstrates practical medical applications of deep learning, while his theoretical contributions to graph neural networks have advanced the field of geometric deep learning. Since November 2023, Coniglio has been a member of the UniBg Interdepartmental Working Group on Artificial Intelligence, collaborating on the design of an interdepartmental doctoral program in AI. He serves as the unit leader for the PRIN-PNRR project HEXAGON: Highly specialized EXact Algorithms for Grid Operations at the National level since 2023. Coniglio teaches Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, and Deep Learning courses across multiple departments at UniBg, including the Department of Economics and the Department of Letters, Philosophy, and Communication. He has collaborated with major organizations including National Grid Plc, UK MetOffice, Airbus, Babcock International, British Telecom, CESI, and CISL, demonstrating strong industry connections and practical application of his research.
