Giuseppina GINI received a 'Laurea' degree in Physics from the Milan State University in 1972. Between 1972 and 1976 she specialized in Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence at Politecnico di Milano, Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineering. From 1976 to 1978 she was Visiting Scholar and Research Assistant at the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory of the Stanford University, California, USA. From 1978 to 1987 she held an Assistant Professor position at Politecnico di Milano together with various appointments as Research Fellow at Stanford University, Computer Science Department and NMR Laboratory, and SRI International. Since 1987 she is an Associate Professor of Robotics at the Department of Electronics and Information, Politecnico di Milano, Italy.

Among other professional services, she served as the Program Co-chair for the Video-Conference on Robotics (March 2000) between Microsystems Technology Laboratories of MIT (Boston), Politecnico di Milano, and Padova University; for the AI&Math special session on Knowledge Exploration in Predictive Toxicology, January 2000; for the AAAI Spring Symposium on Predictive Toxicology (Stanford 1999), and for the IFIP Symposium on Robotics, Como, 1986. She was a Program committee member for various Conferences. She is in the Editorial board of KES Journal. She is a reviewer for ACM Computing Reviews, IEEE Trans on Robotics, Int. Journal of Production Research, J of approximate reasonong, Int. Journal of Chemical Information and Computer Sciences, as well as various AI and Robotics Journals and Conferences.

Since 1985, she is and has been director of more than 20 International and National Research Projects (from NATO and EU), and coordinator of one of them devoted to the development of new methods in predictive toxicology. She was a National Delegate in the Management Committee of the EU COST Action 282 on Knowledge Exploration in Science and Technology.
