Luca Mazzola’s Summary

I was born in 1979 near Bergamo (Italy), where I studied till the high school.

Then I studied Computer Science at the technical university 'Politecnico di Milano' from 1999 to 2004 , when I graduated with a master thesis based on a software prototype I developed.
It was aimed to be a supportive system toward an educational oriented personalizable online video service, applied to the field of medical informatics.

I decided to join the Medical Informatics laboratory staff, where I developed my master thesis, and from 2006 I'm also collaborating as a teacher assistant for the course of Medical Informatics at PoliMi.

In the meantime I worked at CILEA (one of the 3 Italian national inter-universitary consortium for the ICT), where my duties were devoted to e-learning field and to customize a VLE for some important projects, but after a 3 years period I decided to improve my education and applied for a RED-INK Ph.D. position, related to a project in the 7th European Framework Program, called GRAPPLE.

I was finally accepted as Ph.D. candidate in January 2008 and then joined the NewMinE lab. Based on the call, my main task is related to advanced and intelligent technologies for the personalization of the learning experience, with a focus on adaptive systems.

I likes high technology devices, and I need to know how they work, but I likes as well open-air activities, like running, trekking and cycling.
