I'm Gabriele Patrizi and I've obtained Master Degree in “Management and Automation Engineering” at Università degli Studi Roma Tre, with a mark 106/110 on May of 2010, later a Master in “Analysis and Modelling of Data and Processes: method and models” at Università degli Studi di Roma UnitelmaSapienza, with a mark 108/110 on September of 2022. I speak Italian, Portuguese (basic), Spanish and English because I did Erasmus experience in Valencia in 2009 and another abroad experience in London, for 2 months, in 2010 during the summer.

I'm a hard worker, precise and determined, with a great intellectual curiosity. I like working in tuning with the team but I can also work alone, in the data area (as engineer and analyst). I want to learn new things every day, in a dynamic environment, but always thinking to obtain the goal in the best possible way, managing own resources and personal time, with a focus on every part of a full process.

I started working since 2010, changing industries (automotive, public industry, internet, telecommunications, market research, finance) and technologies (SAS, SQL Server, MySQL, Talend, Power BI, QlikView, Sap BO, Python, Cloudera), in the data field. I have had the pleasure to work for SAS Institute, Format Business Solutions (as consultant), ALD Automotive, Neomobile, GN Research (Teleperformance), Italfondiario, Credito Fondiario, Gruppo Bancario Cooperativo Iccrea e Cassa Depositi e Prestiti. In addition working as Adjunct Professor in “Big Data Analytics Professionals” for the MBA dispensed by Rome Business School, I actually work as Expert Data Scientist for Corte dei conti.

Specializations:
Business Intelligence, ETL, Data Warehousing and Data Lake, Data Architecture, Big Data, Data Governance and Management, Data Analysis and Quality, Reporting and Data Visualization, Forecasting and Predictive Modelling, Machine Learning, Business Analysis, Business Process and Business Process Reengineering, Digital Transformation and Data Driven Culture.

Jean Gomes, Ph.D., is a Senior Researcher and Data Engineer, currently serving as Head of Quantum Computing at DTx Colab in Portugal, within the Data and Application Engineering group. With over 20 years of experience, Jean’s work bridges mathematical optimization, quantum computing, and software engineering to develop industrial solutions for sectors such as energy, logistics, mobility, and digital transformation. His expertise spans MILP/MINLP, quantum annealing (D-Wave), hybrid solvers, and computational frameworks for real-time decision-making.

Jean has led and contributed to international R&D programs, including FP7-PEOPLE-2013-IRSES, PTCRIS, and served as Principal Investigator in the Strategic Partnership in Astrophysics Portugal-Brazil (FCT/CAPES 2017). His work regularly translates advanced academic research into applied innovation, including optimization-based services, digital twins, AI-assisted decision systems, and sustainable urban solutions.

He has authored 60+ peer-reviewed publications, accumulating over 5,700 citations and an h-index of 27 (Google Scholar). His ability to integrate research excellence with real-world impact has earned recognition across both academic and industrial communities.

Jean holds a Ph.D. in Physics with a specialization in Astrophysics, awarded by the University of Santa Catarina (Brazil), including a research period at the Observatoire de Meudon (France). His doctoral research focused on optimization and mathematical modeling of galaxy formation, leading to a Ph.D. equivalence in Astrophysics from the University of Porto (Portugal) in 2015.

Previously, Jean was an Invited Assistant Professor at the University of Porto, where he supervised MSc, PhD, and undergraduate students, many within the PEEC program. He continues to foster collaborations between academia and industry.

Jean has also recently completed formal training in Horizon Europe project evaluation and assessment (2025), reinforcing his capacity to serve as an expert evaluator in European R&D programmes. He is actively registered in several expert pools and panels, contributing with deep domain expertise in energy systems, optimization, routing, and AI.
