Fabio Paolizzo, PhD
AI Lead Researcher & Systems Architect | Deep Learning, LLMs, & Alpha Generation in Quantitative Trading.
I architect and deploy proprietary AI systems to develop novel, uncorrelated alpha from alternative data. My primary focus is quantitative finance, where for the past five years I have engineered a complete trading ecosystem to research and validate these strategies in live markets.
My approach integrates a unique combination of leadership, systems architecture, and deep AI expertise. My skills in cutting-edge AI are validated through ongoing consulting on Large Language Model (LLM) and Knowledge Graph architecture for major EU projects.
My large-scale leadership is grounded in a 25-year track record of securing competitive funding, culminating in my role as Scientific Coordinator for multi-million-euro flagship EU research programs that earned an ‘Excellent’ rating. This work is all built on a deep architectural foundation of 30 years of hands-on systems architecture and a distinguished academic career, including a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Global Fellowship. As a leader in my field, I have also authored novel curricula in AI and Signal Processing at the graduate level and mentored students to win prestigious awards, including the Fulbright.
