Giulia Cesaro earned her Bachelor’s degree in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Padua in 2018, followed by a Master’s degree in Bioengineering (summa cum laude) from the same university in 2020. She completed her Ph.D. in Information Engineering at the University of Padua in 2025, focusing on the development of algorithms and computational methods for the analysis of single-cell transcriptomics data. She is currently a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Information Engineering, working in the SysBioBig lab (Systems Biology and Bioinformatics Group) under the supervision of Prof. Barbara Di Camillo. Her current research focuses on the development of efficient algorithms and software tools for the analysis and interpretation of omics data .
