Gabriele
Battimelli

Hey there! Nice to meet you :) I’m Gabriele. I started coding at six, and today I’m a developer at Kernel Science, a scientific consultancy where I work alongside a theoretical physicist, a biologist, a protein chemist and a neuroscientist. We take on R&D for biotech, pharma, research foundations and deep-tech ventures.

What I’ve built there: PhysLib Search, a retrieval system over formalized physics; the FQXi Metascience Platform, serving 40+ researchers; and a conference ticketing platform. Right now I’m working on specialized AI model training and scalable inference.

Since 2022 I’ve worked on European digital policy. I advised European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen on the Special Panel on Child Safety Online. I’m a Better Internet for Kids Youth Ambassador and I sit on the BIK Advisory Board. I’ve contributed to work on the Digital Services Act, spoken at the Lisbon Council in Brussels, and argued publicly — including in Don’t Ban Young People from Social Media. Fix It. — that the answer to platform harm is regulating specific features, not blanket bans.

Before that I created Adelante for students, which quickly became a top download in Italy, helping high schoolers share study materials, and built SpreadIt, an AI social media manager.
