About Me


Turin is where I was born in 1993. In 2018, I graduated (cum laude) from Politecnico di Torino with a Master's Degree (cum laude) in Computer Engineering. Then, I got the Ph.D. (cum laude) in Computer Engineering in 2022 at the same university. I have always loved computers and networks, and study how they work.

My research path is made up of a mix of exploring new technologies, coding, writing, and reading, not necessarily in this order. I spend my time working on networking and issues concerning industrial systems, with a special interest in real-time applications. I like addressing computer networks problems using algorithms from the Machine Learning ecosystem.

I have always loved art, with movies and music above all. I am fascinated by new challenges, in any field, no matter what.
