Ciao 👋

My name is Steve Azzolin and I'm currently an ELLIS PhD student co-supevised by the University of Trento, FBK, and the University of Cambridge.

My first exposure to research was a research internship position at SISLab where I worked on Sentiment Analysis. I then got interested in Graph Neural Networks and Explainability and I joined the University of Cambridge for my MSc Thesis under the supervision of Prof. Pietro Liò and Prof. Andrea Passerini. You can download my CV here.

INTERESTS: Graph Neural Networks; Representation Learning; Explainability

EDUCATION: BSc in Computer Science; MSc in Artificial Intelligence Systems
