New Head of MSc in Data Science Programme

Associate Professor Luca Maria Aiello will be replacing Barbara Plank as Head of MSc in Data Science from March 1.

Luca joined ITU in February 2021. Before that he worked for almost 10 years in industrial data science research at Yahoo! Labs in Barcelona and at Nokia Bell Labs in Cambridge, UK. Through his background he has gained a first-hand experience of the typical challenges of working in diverse data science teams, both in industry and academia.

He says:” The Master in Data Science has been kicked-off brilliantly by Barbara Plank and collaborators, achieving a great turnout of applications. I am lucky to step into the role of Head of Study Programme for such a successful programme, and I look forward to strengthening its offer to make ITU graduates even more competitive on the international job market”
