About Me

My name is Giuseppe Sgroi I'm a Ph.D Student, Data Scientist & Web Developer.

Born in Catania (CT) in 1992. Passionate about computer science and bioinformatics. I received my Bachelor's degree and my Master's degree in Computer Science from the University of Catania in 2017 and 2018, respectively. In 2017, I joined the COMBINE Group. From November 2018, I'm a Ph.D. student of the XXXIV cycle at the University of Catania, in the Biomedical area (under the supervision of Prof. Francesco Pappalardo) and on the project funds: "STriTuVaD: In Silico Trial for Tuberculosis Vaccine Development" (Horizon 2020). My main research interests concern Biomedicine, with a particular focus on Computational modeling.
