Alessandro Negro

First and foremost, I am immensely passionate about computer science and data research. I specialize in NLP, recommendation engines, fraud detection, and graph-aided search.

After pursuing computer engineering academically and working in various capacities in the domain, I pursued my PhD in Interdisciplinary Science and Technology. With my interest in graph databases peaking, I founded a company called Reco4, which aimed to support an open source project called reco4j—the first recommendation framework based on graph data sources.

Now I’m Chief Scientist at GraphAware, where we are all driven by the goal of being the first name in graph technologies. With clients such as LinkedIn, the World Economic Forum, the European Space Agency, and Bank of America, we are singularly focused on helping clients gain a competitive edge by transforming their data into searchable, understandable, and actionable knowledge. In the past few years, I have spent my time leading the development of Hume (our knowledge graph platform) and speaking at various conferences around the world.
