Simone Casolo

Manager and industrial data scientist at Cognite. Ph.D. in theoretical chemistry, University of Milan.

I specialize in applying data science and machine learning to heavy industries such as process, energy, and chemicals, where complex and messy sensor data are the norm. I am especially interested in applying AI and machine learning to industrial processes. Also, I have been applying topological and geometrical methods for signal analysis, condition monitoring, and hybrid modeling.

Below are highlights from applied work on real assets; see the projects page for summaries and the publications page for bibliographic details.
