Overview

Dr Giulio Napolitano is a computer science professional and academic, with an extensive background in artificial intelligence and natural language processing, medical and biomedical informatics, and life sciences. A native of Italy, where he completed his initial education and started his profession, Giulio continued his professional and academic careers in Belfast, UK, followed by Bonn and Cologne, before settling in Berlin, Germany.

Giulio studied for his BA+MA in Philosophy and Mathematical Logic at “La Sapienza” University in Rome, Italy, and started his career as a software analyst and project manager. He continued his professional and academic careers at Queen’s University Belfast (UK), where he worked in the School of Medicine and Public Health while completing a BSc in Physics with Astrophysics, a MSc in Bioinformatics (from Manchester University) and a PhD in Applied Mathematics with Machine Learning.

He then researched at the Bonn University Hospital and lead research groups at the IAIS Institute of Fraunhofer Gesellschaft (the largest applied research organisation in Europe) and the Institute of Applied Informatics (InfAI), Leipzig. He eventually settled in Berlin, where he led an AI team at a multinational rare disease diagnostics company and is now lecturing in AI, Ethics, Robotics and Computer Vision subjects at BSBI.

An interdisciplinary professional, researcher and author, Giulio has also advised digital health start-ups and has been involved in multiple research, applied research and industry projects. Driven by his desire to make a difference, contribute to society and individuals and make life positive and sustainable, he received an Excellence in Innovation Award and an Innovation in Oncology Award. Over the years, he has been the recipient or contributed to the award of a total of around 2M€ in research and industry funding.
