Andrea Gasparini

🎓 I recently graduated cum laude with a Master’s Degree in Computer Science from “La Sapienza”, University of Rome, focussing on Machine Learning and Distributed Computing. I worked under the supervision of Prof. Roberto Navigli and presented a thesis on lexical-semantic correction in Speech Recognition by employing Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD).

💻 From the last year of my Bachelor’s Degree until when I went to spend a semester abroad during my Master’s, I also worked on a part-time basis, first as a Front-end developer and later on as a Full Stack, at Babelscape, a deep tech company focused on multilingual Natural Language Processing (NLP).

🌍 From September 2021 onwards I spent an exchange semester in The Netherlands at the University of Groningen, thanks to the Erasmus+ programme and a 6-month scholarship. This has been both a challenging and personal growing experience, which led me to get to know a lot of different cultures and international people, live a first long-term period abroad and improve my English skills.

🥋 I am also a martial arts lover since I was I child, I started with Judo and it is now more than 10 years that I have been practising Shorinji Kempo.
