Maurizio Troiano graduated in Electronic Engineering from La Sapienza University of Rome, where he also obtained a PhD in mathematical models for engineering, electromagnetism, and nanosciences. His research activity mainly focuses on artificial intelligence applied to medical diagnosis. Currently, Maurizio is a member of a research group at the Bambino Gesù pediatric hospital, where he is contributing to the development of innovative techniques to improve the diagnosis and treatment of pediatric diseases. Recently, he has been collaborating with the Department of Ancient Sciences of Sapienza University of Rome, applying his skills in artificial intelligence to the study and preservation of cultural heritage.

Eugenio Nobile obtained a bachelor’s degree in Cultural Heritage Sciences from the University of Pisa in 2018. Subsequently, he completed his master’s degree with honors in Archaeology from Sapienza University of Rome in 2020 and was awarded the title of "excellent student" for the scientific progress achieved in his master’s thesis the same year. He is currently a PhD student at the Sonia and Marco Nadler Institute of Archaeology at Tel Aviv University, where his research focuses on the material culture of the Levantine Neolithic, particularly on lithic technology, typology, and morpho-functional analysis. In addition, he is working on new applications of artificial intelligence in archaeology. Over the years, he has participated in various excavations in Europe and the Middle East, spanning different time periods. Since 2023, he has been responsible for analyzing the lithic industry at the Çayönü Tepesi project (Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart Üniversitesi, Turkey), and he has been involved in the Nahal Yarmuth 38 project (Tel Aviv University, Israel). Moreover, since 2023, he has been a member of the Ex Oriente e.V Scientific Society and of the European Association of Archaeologists.

Dr. Mastrogiuseppe was nominated by NASA as an Associate Team Member of the Cassini RADAR Science Team. He is a team member of the SHARAD Sounder experiment aboard MRO (NASA/ASI), a co-investigator of the Clipper RADAR instrument (NASA) for future exploration of Jovian moons, and currently co-investigator of the Visar Instrument, an interferometric radar aboard the upcoming VERITAS mission (NASA/ASI) for the future exploration of Venus. He also collaborated with CNRS in Paris for developing data processing algorithms for the WISDOM Ground Penetrating Radar onboard the Franklin Rover, proposed for the exploration of the near subsurface of Mars. Throughout his career, he has mentored several master's and PhD students and led research groups.

Cecilia Conati Barbaro is an Associate Professor of Prehistoric Ecology at the Department of Archaeological Sciences, Sapienza University of Rome. Her research primarily focuses on environmental archaeology, with a particular interest in the transition from foraging to farming. She has a strong emphasis on lithic technology and the exploitation and circulation of lithic raw materials. Her extensive fieldwork spans excavations and surveys in Iraqi Kurdistan, Italy, Libya, and Jordan, where she has served as project director or co-director. She has successfully led numerous research projects funded by the Italian Ministry of University (MIUR), the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the University of Rome, and various other international institutions. Additionally, she teaches Public Archaeology and has a keen interest in museum studies and the communication of archaeological heritage.

Fabrizio Frezza was born in Rome, Italy, on October 31, 1960. He received a “Laurea” (degree) “cum laude” in Electronic Engineering in 1986 and a doctorate in Applied Electromagnetics and Electrophysical Sciences in 1991, both from La Sapienza University of Rome.
