Giacomo was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Francis Crick Institute and is now at ETH Zurich.
His research in the lab focused on the development of hybrid models at the interface between deep learning and mechanistic (ODE-based) mathematical models - an area known as ‘‘Scientific Machine Learning’’ -, as well as their application to problems in computational systems biology.
Before joining the Crick, Giacomo obtained a BSc degree in Electronic Engineering and a MSc degree in Nanotechnology Engineering, both from the University of Rome ‘‘La Sapienza’’ in his hometown (Rome, Italy), as well as a PhD in Nucleic Acids Nanotechnology for Bottom-Up Synthetic Biology from Imperial College London under the supervision of Lorenzo Di Michele (Di Michele Lab).
Outside of work, he is passionate about strength training and everything photography-related, from smartphone cameras to DSLRs and drones.
