Filomena Bufano (Ph.D. in Astronomy) has been a research staff scientist at Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica (INAF) since 2016. Her scientific interests have been mainly focused on the study of massive stars evolution, in particular on their final stages. Promoting a multi-wavelength approach in her studies, she worked using data from different telescopes/surveys from UV to radio frequencies and has been a member of numerous international collaborations and projects. In view of the approaching era of a deluge of data expected from new ground and space-based facilities, she acquired deep skills in the use of machine learning algorithms: since ~2017 she has been engaged in two important European projects, i.e. ViaLactea and the ongoing NEANIAS project (sponsor of the conference, too). Nowadays, she is involved in the preliminary activities of the Square Kilometre Array focussed on the Galactic Plane and in the Early Science Data Analysis phase of two important pathfinder/precursor of SKA: ASKAP and MeerKAT.

Eva Sciacca (Ph.D. in Mathematics for Technology) is a Computer Scientist and Information Technology researcher with over a decade of experience, working at the Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica (INAF) since 2012. She has been extensively involved in cutting-edge research activities in the field of big-data, visual analytics, and machine learning. She has been instrumental in facilitating astrophysical data processing on distributed computing infrastructures, with a special focus on High-Performance Computing (HPC) and Cloud Computing. Over the past five years, Eva has played a pivotal role in several European-funded projects, including VIALACTEA, INDIGO-DataCloud, AENEAS, EOSC-Pilot, NEANIAS, and SPACE. She has been at the forefront of harnessing the potential of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) and the European High-Performance Computing Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC JU) to advance scientific research, and she isactively
