Alessandro Crimi Editor & Author

Alessandro Crimi completed his studies in engineering at the University of Palermo, earned a PhD in machine learning applied to medical imaging from the University of Copenhagen, and later obtained an MBA in healthcare management from the University of Basel. He carried out post-doctoral research at leading European institutions, including INRIA, ETH Zurich, the Italian Institute for Technology (IIT), and the University Hospital of Zurich, where he made notable contributions to computational neuroscience. During these years, his work in European research institutes was interspersed with extended periods in Ghana and other sub-Saharan countries, where Dr. Crimi taught and led in-field projects focused on healthcare management. He spent eight years teaching machine learning in medicine at the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences (AIMS) in Ghana and South Africa, supervising numerous MSc theses, and in parallel co-founded a biotech startup operating between Ghana and Switzerland. Following his move to Sano, the Centre for Computational Medicine in Poland, where he is a research group leader, he reduced his involvement with AIMS, overseeing a select number of MSc theses. His current teaching activities are primarily associated with AGH University of Science and Technology in Kraków, where he is a professor. Dr. Crimi is also actively involved in initiatives that promote entrepreneurship among women and individuals with immigrant backgrounds, as well as technology transfer projects aimed at supporting young scientists.
