About

I am a physicist passionate about exploring the intersection of science and technology through machine learning. Beyond my work, I like to perform volunteer activities, stay with friends, and keep an eye open around me.
As I look around the world, I am aware of the many challenges we face. Rather than simply complain, I try to take action in whatever way I can. While I do not have all the answers, I believe that each of us can make a difference by doing our small part. Although I know I cannot change the world single-handedly, I strive to do my best, and I hope my efforts will inspire others to do the same. Together, we can work towards a better future.

Post Doc Researcher at PoliTO.

I'm currently a Researcher (RTD-A) at the Department of Control and Computer Engineering at Politecnico di Torino. My research interest relates to theory-based machine learning strategies, i.e. the integration of data-agnostic prior knowledge to deep learning models to enhance their predictions.
