Alice Battiston

Hi all!
My name is Alice Battiston and I am a second-year PhD candidate in Modeling and Data Science at the University of Turin, working with Prof. Rossano Schifanella.
My research is at the intersection of computational social science, spatial analysis and the modeling of urban systems. I am interested in data-driven approaches to policy-making in urban environments, with a focus on enhancing the liveability and sustainability of our cities.
My background is in Economics and Statistics, which I studied in Turin @UniversityOfTurin and @CollegioCarloAlberto and in London @UniversityCollegeLondon .
Before joining the academia again in 2020, I worked for three years as data analyst and economic consultant (@LondonEconomics, London, UK), specializing in applied micro-econometrics.
