"Alberto Castellini is a temporary assistant professor at the Computer Science Department, Verona University. From 2010 to 2013 he was a Postdoc Research Fellow at the Center for BioMedical Computing (CBMC), Verona University, where he worked on computational models of metabolic system dynamics and computational genomics. From 2014 to middle 2016 he was Postdoc Research Fellow at the Bioinformatics group, Institute for Biochemistry and Biology, University of Potsdam, and Max Planck Institute of Molecular Plant Physiology, Potsdam, Germany, where he developed regression methods for the analysis of large-scale biological dataset. From 2016 he was at Verona University as a Postdoc Research Fellow where he first worked on predictive regression models for plant diseases forecasting and then on data-driven situation assessment methods for autonomous water drones in the INTCATCH project (H2020, WATER-1-2014/2015, http://intcatch.eu/).

His current research mainly focuses on artificial intelligence, statistical learning and data analysis, in particular on time series analysis and autonomous planning methods. In the first research fields he has developed time series segmentation methods for situation assessment, activity recognition and anomaly detection in autonomous water drones, and time series forecasting methods for energy management in smart grids. While in the second research field he has recently developed novel approaches for online planning under uncertainty, with applications on both robotics and smart buildings. Alberto taught (bachelor and master) computer science and bioinformatics/computational biology courses in Italy and Germany. He participated in national and international projects as a researcher. He co-authored 12 peer-reviewed scientific contributions in international journals (among them EAAI, RAS) and about 25 peer-reviewed contributions in international conferences (among them IJCAI, ACM SAC and AAMAS). He is in the program committee of top international conferences in artificial intelligence, as IJCAI, AAAI, AAMAS and acts as a referee for international journals as IEEE TNNLS and IEEE Intelligent Systems. Alberto recently organized the 6th Italian Workshop on Artificial Intelligence and Robotics, at the 18th International Conference of the Italian Association for Artificial Intelligence."
