Profile

Antonio Rossi, graduated with honors from the Master’s Degree in Computer Science at University of Naples “Federico II”, currently holds the role of Technical Collaborator at the CNR – ISMed (Institute for Studies on the Mediterranean) in Naples.

He is a great enthusiast of IT, astronomy, history, art, photography, fitness, reading, trekking and travel. Since he was a child he has been curious and predisposed to study and learn new things. The more difficult the challenges, the more fun he has, so he is always ready to get involved as soon as a stimulating challenge presents itself.

Antonio always strives to keep up to date with advances in the IT field, with a particular interest in artificial intelligence, robotics, computer vision, Big Data analytics and high-performance scientific computing.

After obtaining a master’s degree in Computer Science with honors from the University of Naples Federico II, he began to acquire and consolidate professional experience in different types of companies, from innovative startups to traditional businesses, working in various fields, including research and development of solutions in the field of machine learning and computer vision, Big Data analysis, test automation and full-stack development. This allowed him to integrate into his university education further knowledge and tools useful for tackling the various phases of problem solving, i.e. identification, definition and resolution of a problem.

Given that the main mission of the ISMed is to study the dynamics and nature of the growth and development processes of the countries in the area, the interpretation of a context such as that of the Mediterranean area is so complex as to require methodologies and tools of multidisciplinary study, which ISMed aims to provide thanks to the multidisciplinary skills of its scientific staff. From this, Antonio’s main task is to support the research and non-research activities of the institute at an IT level.
