ZORZAN Simone

About

Bioinformatician with a Master's degree in Computer Science and a PhD in Biotechnology (plant sciences), both from the University of Verona, Italy. I have been working at LIST since 2013, as a Research Engineer and Research Associate, in the Biotech Unit, first within the Envinfo unit, then Plantech, and currently in Bioprocessing & Formulation Group. Over the years, I have developed extensive expertise in bioinformatics tools and resources, multi-omics data integration and analysis, software development, data pipelines, machine learning, High-Performance Computing (HPC) and AI. My current work focuses on Artificial Intelligence, which I now apply to develop AI-driven solutions for biotechnology and for the analysis of scientific knowledge, particularly academic literature. In parallel, I work on modelling downstream processing and developing tools for LC-GC MS/MS data analysis I have a strong track record of cross-team collaboration, having worked with numerous colleagues across former ERIN, ITIS and MRT departments. I also bring significant experience and an established network in space research: in 2018, I spent a summer at NASA on an AI-for-space project with ESRIC, and I returned to the United States in 2024 for a further related space research collaboration. I enjoy applying computational skills across a broad range of problems. Feel free to reach out if you think we could help with your project.
