Massimiliano Luca
Massimiliano is a Researcher at the Mobile and Social Computing Lab at Augmented Intelligence Center Fondazione Bruno Kessler.
He obtained his PhD from the Free University of Bolzano and, during his doctoral studies, had the opportunity to spend time at institutions such as MIT in Boston and the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) in Spain. He has published over 20 research articles focusing on artificial intelligence applied to mobility, transport and urban planning. These publications have received more than five awards from various conferences and scientific journals. Previously, Luca was Chief Scientific Officer at Pulse.io, a London-based start-up that uses artificial intelligence in emotional marketing, where he worked on data science, web services implementation, cloud computing, deep learning and generative artificial intelligence assets.
