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.
