Nico Curti was born in Cattolica (RN, Italy) on 28/09/1992.
He obtained the bachelor degree in Physics in 2014 at the University of Bologna (BO, Italy) and the Master Degree in
Applied Physics with the vote of 110/110 with laude, defending the work entitled
Implementazione e benchmarking dell'algoritmo QDANet PRO per l'analisi di Big Data genomici, developed under the supervision of Prof. Daniel Remondini and Prof. Gastone Castellani.
During his work of thesis, Dr. Nico Curti deepened his informatic skills, focusing his work on the implementation and optimization of algorithms applied on
high-performance-computers.
Later, in 2019, he obtained the PhD in Physics, defending the thesis entitled "Implementation and optimization of algorithms in Biological Big Data Analytics", developed under the supervision of Prof. Daniel Remondini, Prof. Gastone Castellani, and Prof. Armando Bazzani at the University of Bologna.
Dr. Curti collaborated with numerous international research groups during his PhD, and he developed applications of data analysis for several academic and private projects.
During the years 2019-2021, Dr. Curti was research fellow at the Dept. of Experimental, Diagnostic and Specialty Medicine of Bologna University, under the supervision of Prof. Enrico Giampieri, Prof. Emanuela Marcelli, and Prof. Gastone Castellani.
Along this period he collaborated to numerous projects about biomedical applications, working side-by-side by expert clinicians.
In particular, he worked on the analysis of histopathological images (WSI) developing machine learning models for the segmentation and characterization of biological tissues and microscopy analyses.
The resulting
Decision Support Systems aimed to facilitate and improve the clinical efficiency of the Azienda Ospedaliera IRCCS Sant'Orsola-Malpighi of Bologna.
Furthermore, he collaborated with the Ophatmological Unit of the Azienda Ospedaliera IRCCS Sant'Orsola-Malpighi of Bologna, developing fully automated solutions for the evaluation of slit lamp images.
Dr. Curti worked on several scientific research projects involving the application of
artificial intelligence models on radiological images, involving CT, PET, and MRI formats.
The resulting models were used for the automated segmentation of cancer volumes and radiomic analysis of the tissues.
From 2023 to date, Dr. Curti is a junior assistant professor (fixed term) at the Dept. of Physics and Astronomy of Bologna University, under the supervision of Prof. Daniel Remondini.
