Researcher

Andrea Passerini

Andrea Passerini studies learning systems that can use structure, logic and feedback from people. He leads the Structured Machine Learning laboratory at Trento. Passerini received a doctorate in computer engineering from Florence in 2004. His research lies at the intersection of learning and reasoning. He joined the Trento faculty in 2009, served as an assistant professor through 2015 and an associate professor through 2024, and became a full professor in 2024. The laboratory combines statistical learning with reasoning. Its work includes prediction for structured data, preference elicitation and reliable decisions with human input.
