Biography

Michela Sperti (SCOPUS ID: 57217331713, h-index: 5) is a third-year Ph.D. student at Politecnico di Torino, Bioengineering Department, with Prof. M. A. Deriu. She graduated in Biomedical Engineering at Politecnico di Torino in 2019 with a thesis on machine learning techniques for cardiovascular risk prediction in rheumatic patients. She worked for one year as a Research Assistant under the European-funded MSCA VIRTUOUS project (which aims to apply machine learning techniques to investigate taste and food properties). Currently, she is studying explainability techniques for machine learning and deep learning models applied in clinical decision support systems with a special focus on cardiovascular risk prediction. The final aim of her research is the understanding of complex mechanisms that underlie physiological processes. She is very passionate about teaching and is committed to communicating her results. She is the author of nine articles published in peer-review journals, three conference papers and she took part in three international workshops as both a teaching assistant and a speaker. She is Contributing Author of the book "Applied Deep Learning with TensorFlow 2" by U. Michelucci.
