Valerio Piomponi
Researcher at Laboratory of Data Engineering

After earning my Master’s degree in Physics from the University of Rome La Sapienza, I pursued a PhD in Statistical Biophysics at SISSA (Trieste). Currently, as a Research Technologist at Area Science Park, I am part of the Laboratory of Data Engineering. My role involves conducting research projects involving AI and molecular simulation for Life-science, and providing technical support to external users for the effective utilization of the Orfeo data server. Additionally, I am responsible for the management and curation of large datasets, ensuring their quality and accessibility for various research purposes.
