Sara Magliacane

Affiliated Professor

For the past six years I have worked in various fields of Computer Science research, from databases, to Semantic web, distributed systems and machine learning. I just finished a PhD degree on the topic of causality and probabilistic logics at the VU University Amsterdam and the University of Amsterdam. During my PhD I did two internships, one in Google Zurich and one in Google Research in New York. I previously studied Computer Engineering at the University of Trieste, at Politecnico di Milano and Alta Scuola Politecnica.
