About me

I am pursuing a MSc in Artificial Intelligence at Bocconi University in Milan, Italy after having graduated cum laude with a BSc in Economics and Computer Science.

I am currently doing my MSc Thesis at the Computer Vision and Geometry Group (CVG) at ETH Zurich, under the supervision of Dr. Zuria Bauer, Prof. Marc Pollefeys and Prof. Chiara Plizzari.

Previously, I spent two years as a Machine Learning Researcher at the Bocconi Institute for Data Science and Analytics and the AIRC Institute for Molecular Biology, under the supervision of Prof. Francesca Buffa. My work focused on exploring the scaling laws of deep learning models in transcriptomics and developing novel architectures for gene expression modeling.

To connect minds, not only layers, I co-founded Bocconi Students for Machine Learning (BSML), the first machine learning project-incubator at Bocconi University.

Robotics, Imitation Learning, Hackathon

Trained ACT and SmolVLA policies on a SO-101 robotic arm during the EuroTech x HKTE hackathon. It was our team first time working with robotics hardware: we failed miserably, but learned a lot.
