Elena Cuoco

I'm a scientist who loves data, analyzing it, extracting information. I work in the field of gravitational wave research and the application of artificial intelligence techniques. I also love to cook, use sourdough and especially love to cook for my loved ones. I also love walking, biking, yoga, being in nature, gardening, taking care of my home, and I love Apulia, my homeland, and Tuscany, my adopted land. In this website you will find posts both in Italian (my native language) and English. My intention is to talk about my work, my research, the signal processing and machine learning, but also about my passions such as travelling and photography, things I love doing in my spare time. I made all the photos you see in this site. Enjoy the site, have fun and share my posts if you liked them.
