Salvatore Ruggieri is full professor at the Computer Science Department of the University of Pisa, Italy, where he teaches at the Master Program in Data Science and Business Informatics and at the National PhD Program in Artificial Intelligence for Society. He holds a Ph.D. in Computer Science (1999), whose thesis has been awarded by the Italian Chapter of EATCS as the best Ph.D. thesis in Theoretical Computer Science. He is senior member of the KDD LAB, a research group spanning from University of Pisa to the National Research Council to Scuola Normale Superiore), with research interests focused in the Artificial Intelligence and Data Science area, including:
- algorithmic fairness,
- explainable AI,
- causality and uncertainty,
- knowledge discovery methods and processes,
- classification algorithms,
and their applications. He is the contact person of the AI and Data Science Lab, which comprises all researchers working on AI and Data Science at the Department of Computer Science. He was co-program chair of the ACM Conference in Fairness, Accountability and Transparency (FAT*2020), Barcelona, Spain, 27-30 January 2020. He has been a member of the steering committee of FAccT, of the executive board the Italian Association for Artificial Intelligence (AI*IA), of the Quality Assurance Auditing committee (Nucleo di Valutazione) of the University of Pisa, and the coordinator of the Master Program in Data Science and Business Informatics. He has participated in many scientific projects at national level (PRIN, FIRB) and european level (Horizon Europe, H2020, MSCA-ITN, FP7-FET, FP6-IP, FP6-STReP), as well as in industrial research projects, including FINDHR, FAIR, SoBigData, XAI, NoBias, Tailor, HumanE-AI, ICON, Enforce and others.
