Dr Nico Biagi is a Lecturer in Business Data Analytics at Henley Business School. He holds a PhD in Neuroscience from the School of Psychology and Clinical Language Science at the University of Reading. Dr Biagi’s journey at Henley began with a postdoctoral research role, where he investigated predictive analytics for dialysis outcomes in patients with chronic kidney disease. In 2022, he transitioned into his current lecturing position.

Dr Biagi’s teaching focuses on equipping students with statistical tools and methodologies applicable to research in business contexts. His interdisciplinary research explores anxiety and intolerance of uncertainty, particularly examining physiological responses such as electromyography (EMG) and skin conductance during behavioural experiments. He maintains active collaborations with General Practitioners at the Royal Berkshire Hospital and in Italy, fostering connections between academic research and healthcare practice.

Topics or projects for PhD & DBA supervision:

  • Data analytics
  • Intolerance of uncertainty
  • Machine learning
