Proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Modelling and Optimisation of Ship Energy Systems

Dr Andrea Coraddu is an Associate Professor at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) in the Department of Maritime and Transport Technology. Previously, he held the position of Associate Professor in the Department of Naval Architecture, Ocean & Marine Engineering at the University of Strathclyde from 2 October 2020. His professional and academic trajectory includes serving as an Assistant Professor at the University of Strathclyde and a Research Associate at the School of Marine Science and Technology at Newcastle University. Further bolstering his industry expertise, Dr Coraddu served as a Research Engineer within the DAMEN R&D department based in Singapore. His role involved innovative work in the field of predictive and prescriptive analytics for maritime applications. His academic journey began at the University of Genoa, where he was awarded both a Laurea and a PhD in Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering.

Luca Oneto was born in Rapallo, Italy, in 1986. He received his BSc and MSc in Electronic Engineering at the University of Genoa, Italy, respectively in 2008 and 2010. In 2014, he received his PhD from the same university in the School of Sciences and Technologies for Knowledge and Information Retrieval, with the thesis "Learning Based On Empirical Data". In 2017, he obtained the Italian National Scientific Qualification for the role of Associate Professor in Computer Engineering, and in 2018, he obtained the one in Computer Science. He worked as an Assistant Professor in Computer Engineering at the University of Genoa from 2016 to 2019. In 2018 he was co-funder of the spin-off ZenaByte s.r.l. In 2019, he obtained the Italian National Scientific Qualification for the role of Full Professor in Computer Science and Computer Engineering. In 2019, he became an Associate Professor in Computer Science at the University of Pisa and is currently an Associate Professor in Computer Engineering at the University of Genoa. He has been involved in several H2020 projects (S2RJU, ICT, DS), and he has been awarded the Amazon AWS Machine Learning and Somalvico (best Italian young AI researcher) Awards. His first main research topic is the Statistical Learning Theory, with particular focus on the theoretical aspects of the problems of (Semi) Supervised Model Selection and Error Estimation. His second main topic of research is Data Science, with particular reference to the problem of Trustworthy AI and the solution to real-world problems by exploiting and improving the most recent Learning Algorithms and Theoretical Results in the fields of Machine Learning and Data Mining.
