Background

About Max Novelli

I am a software engineer, data architect, and data manager with a Laurea degree from Politecnico di Milano, Italy. I currently works as Data Curation Scientist at the Copenhagen office of the European Spallation Source. My latest interests are Big Data, its management, structure, visualization, and curation, specificly applied to research data. In my current position, I am working on the catalog system for the scientific data and leading the effort to establish a well-defined set of metadata to describe such datasets under the FAIR principles. I also lead R&D projects spanning from data visualization to query results scoring, focusing on translating them into viable production tools. My passion is in developing visual tools to explore data structure and to assess the integrity of complex experimental data as well as using neural networks and machine learning to further study and prove specific experimental results. I have been collaborating with the National Institutes of Health and the SPARC initiative to review and provide feedback on online tools, data policies and formats. When I am not lost in "computer land", I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I like to spend my free time biking, running, hiking, swimming, walking (better on the beach), cross-country skiing, eating good food, sipping good wines, and drinking good espresso. I also invest a considerable amount of energy in practicing, teaching, and experimenting with yoga and body movement. Lately, I discovered rock climbing and paddle boarding, which I'm working on in improving my skills. I currently live in Copenhagen, Denmark, but I will consider relocation if the opportunity is right. Preferred locations are Europe, North America, Australia and New Zealand, but I’m open to and happy to consider other destinations.
