Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolGiacomo Bergami is a lecturer and assistant professor in Game Technology with 12 years of experience building high-performance C++ systems and teaching concurrency and game-engine design. His research focuses on verifiable and explainable AI for NLP and multivariate time series, often combining formal methods with data science and multithreaded C++ to tackle big-data query planning. He has led and grown small research teams, supervised PhD work on marine mammal tracking, and coordinated multi-institution projects involving Kafka/Spark/Flink orchestration. Comfortable across Python, Java and C++, he brings a pragmatic focus on efficiency—preferring C++ multithreading where Python’s gains are limited—and teaches modern Java concurrency features in his courses. Based in Emilia-Romagna, Italy, he blends deep academic rigor with applied systems engineering and cross-disciplinary collaboration.
