If you are interested in my profile, please feel free to get in touch for my CV or simply to chat.

About me

Recently, I interned at Sony AI. Before that, I was a PhD student at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems, where I did my PhD under the supervision of Caterina De Bacco. My PhD was supported by the International Max Planck Research School for Intelligent Systems. I obtained my Master's in Mathematical Engineering at the University of Padova. There, I also got my Bachelor's in Physics.

Research

My research focuses on complex systems, machine learning, and scientific problems that combine the two. I am particularly passionate about sociotechnical research, addressing the relationship between us and technology, where my work aims to inform policymakers in building equitable societies. I spent some years studying urban mobility, as well as Bayesian inference and generative models. Recently, I worked on accelerating scientific discovery with machine learning. While I truly like technical work involving mathematical modeling, I believe empirical observations should always drive research. Therefore, I always put data first, whether it is to train algorithms, analyze and interpret their hidden patterns, or establish complex optimization problems I then enjoy solving. If you would like to know more, you can see my publications, talks, and codes or drop me a message.
