Gianluca Brero

Gianluca Brero is an Assistant Professor of Information Systems and Analytics at Ë¿¹ÏÊÓÆµ University. Before joining Bryant, he was a Postdoctoral Fellow at Brown and Harvard, hosted by Amy Greenwald and David Parkes, respectively.

Gianluca earned his Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Zurich in 2020 under the guidance of Sven Seuken. During his doctoral studies, he interned at Microsoft Research – New York City, advised by Sébastien Lahaie.

Before his Ph.D., Gianluca earned a double Master's degree in Mathematics and Innovation (Alta Scuola Politecnica) from Turin Polytechnic and Milan Polytechnic and a Bachelor's degree in Mathematics from Turin Polytechnic.

Gianluca received all of his degrees with the highest honors (summa cum laude) and was recognized by Turin Polytechnic as the top mathematics graduate of his academic year.
