Senior🎓
Top SchoolMirko Polato is a tenure-track Assistant Professor in Computer Science at the University of Turin with a decade of experience bridging machine learning research and applied systems. He earned a PhD in Brain, Mind and Computer Science studying logic-based kernels for categorical data and collaborative filtering, and has since focused on the representation problem in recommender systems, representation learning, interpretability, and federated learning. His background includes a multi-year postdoctoral appointment at the University of Padua and a visiting stint at TU Delft, reflecting a strong mix of theoretical kernel methods and practical applications in security, finance, and process mining. Mirko combines academic rigor with hands-on development (early R&D and CAD internship experience) and a sustained teaching role in programming for mathematicians, making him adept at translating complex ML ideas into teachable, deployable solutions.
