Short bio

Elisa Viola holds a Bachelor’s and a Master’s degree in Mathematics from the University of Turin. During her studies, she gained industry experience working on machine learning projects in the biomedical field. After graduation, she worked as a trainee in data science within the Statistics Department at the European Central Bank. She subsequently served as a Research Fellow at the ISI Foundation, applying machine learning methods to investigate the interplay between urban systems and health. Elisa is currently a PhD candidate in Mathematical Modelling for Epidemic Forecasting and Control within the National PhD Programme in Artificial Intelligence. Her research is conducted jointly at the Politecnico di Torino and the ISI Foundation.

Research activities

Her PhD research focuses on infectious disease forecasting and scenario modelling. She is currently investigating the potential impact of novel RSV treatments in preventing hospitalisations among children in their first year of life. More broadly, she is interested in developing modelling approaches to address public health challenges, with a focus on evaluating the impact of policy interventions in population health.
