Giulia is a PhD candidate in Computer Science at UC Berkeley and a graduate research assistant at the Computational Research Division of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory advised by Aydın Buluç and Kathy Yelick. Giulia is a 2020 SIGHPC Computational & Data Science Fellow and a member of the PASSION Lab, the BeBOp Group, and the Performance and Algorithms Research (PAR) Group. She received her M.Sc. and B.Sc. in Biomedical Engineering from Politecnico di Milano. Giulia’s research focuses on developing a novel algorithm for de novo assembly of genomes in distributed memory using long read sequencing data as part of the ExaBiome project, and on how to make cloud computing more accessible for high performance scientific computing. Giulia is interested in the intersection of High-Performance Computing (HPC), Computer Systems and Computational Biology as enabling technologies for faster, high quality bioinformatics and biomedical research.

Here’s a recent CV.
