Arianna Consiglio

I graduated in Computer Science in 2006 at the University of Bari Aldo Moro with a thesis on Computational Intelligence. From 2007 to 2009, I worked on the development of predictive computational models for credit risk and operational risk analysis, and in May 2009 I obtained a Master’s degree in Information Systems Governance at Roma Tre University. Since November 2009, I have been working at the Institute for Biomedical Technologies of the CNR in Bari within the Bioinformatics group, and in April 2016 I earned a PhD in Computer Science at the University of Bari with a thesis applying Computational Intelligence methods to Bioinformatics. My expertise includes the design and development of bioinformatics algorithms, workflows, applications, and databases; statistical analysis of bioinformatics data; functional analysis of differential expression from RNA-Seq data generated by Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technologies; analysis of structural variations in the genome; analysis and design of CRISPR screens; and the application of Machine Learning and Computational Intelligence methods to experimental data, with a particular interest in Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI).
