Margherita Maraschini is a research mathematician and data scientist, and the mum of three young children. After completing a Master’s degree in Applied Mathematics, she earned a Ph.D. in Geotechnical Engineering from the Politecnico di Torino in 2008. She began her career as a research geophysicist, first in academia and then in the seismic industry, where she worked for around 13 years.
In 2021, Margherita transitioned to the field of Data Science and Machine Learning. Since then, she has been working with CMCC (Centro Euro-Mediterraneo sui Cambiamenti Climatici), focusing primarily on multi-risk projects that involve the use of advanced mathematical models, including machine learning and network science.
She is the author of numerous scientific publications in both geophysics and risk analysis, and she also holds several patents.
Over the course of her career, she has worked in Italy, the UK, the US, and the Netherlands.
