Prof. Dr. Giovanni Colavizza

Associate professor

University of Bologna

I am affiliated with the department of Classical and Italian Philology at the University of Bologna, and with the Digital Humanities Advanced Research Centre (https://centri.unibo.it/dharc/en). I am also a visiting researcher at The Alan Turing Institute and at the Centre for Science and Technology Studies (CWTS, Leiden University).

I did my PhD at the EPFL in Lausanne, working on methods for text mining and citation analysis of humanities scholarly publications. It is during my PhD that I co-founded Odoma with my friend Laurent Bolli: we provide customised machine learning solutions for the cultural and creative sectors.

Prior to joining the University of Bologna, I have been part of the Research Engineering Group at The Alan Turing Institute, and an assistant professor at the University of Amsterdam, Institute for Logic, Language and Computation (ILLC). My background is in computer science (BSc), history and information studies (BA, MA).
