Biography

Since September 2021, I am an ELLIS PhD Fellow supervised by Volkan Cevher and co-supervised by Gergely Neu. My first PhD year was kindly supported by the EDIC Excellence Fellowship.

Before that, I worked as Data Scientist at Datapred, I obtained a MSc in Computational Science and Engineering from EPFL and a Bachelor in Engineering Physics from Politecnico di Torino, Italy. Cycling is my main hobby.
