Marta Pittavino studied mathematics at the University of Turin, Italy, with a master thesis in mathematical epidemiology. In January 2012 Marta started her PhD in Computational Epidemiology as part of an SNSF funded project concerned with developing Bayesian Networks as a tool for Zoonotic Systems Epidemiology. Her project was a collaboration between the Department of Mathematics and the Section of Veterinary Epidemiology.

Martha left our group to work at the University of Geneva.
