Pietro Michiardi is a Full Professor and head of the Data Science Department at EURECOM with 14 years of academic experience and a strong foundation in both computer science and electrical engineering. He blends theoretical research and systems work to design scalable machine learning algorithms, with particular strengths in representation learning, generative models, and computationally efficient Bayesian inference. His research agenda spans applications in anomaly detection, computer vision and automotive/ICT industries, grounded in a long history of work on distributed systems, performance evaluation and applied cryptography. Trained at Télécom Paris and Politecnico di Torino, he complements deep theoretical insight with practical system-building experience—from Hadoop/Spark parallel processing to distributed data stores. Colleagues value his ability to connect rigorous optimization theory to deployable algorithms, and his leadership at EURECOM reflects a rare mix of mentorship, cross-disciplinary breadth, and industrial impact.
