Leonardo Pellegrina
I am an Assistant Professor (RTT) at the
Department of Information Engineering (DEI)
of the University of Padova, and part of the AIDA Lab.
In my research I develop practical, and theoretically sound, algorithms for Data Mining and Computational Biology.
Previously, I was a PostDoc and Ph.D. student at the University of Padova,
under the supervision
of Prof. Fabio Vandin.
I also was a Visiting Research Fellow at the
Department of Computer Science of Brown University, under the supervision of Prof. Eli Upfal.
