About me

From January 2026 I will be working at the Italian Institute of Artificial Intelligence for Industry (AI4I) as a research fellow (or post-doc) under the supervision of Prof. Luca Laurenti. My research centers on generative diffusion models, combining techniques from measure theory, probability theory, and stochastic calculus to rigorously analyze their dynamics and robustness. By developing theoretical guarantees on model trajectories, I aim to deepen our fundamental understanding of diffusion models and facilitate their trustworthy adoption in high-impact industrial settings.

I have completed a Ph.D. in Information Engineering at the University of Padua under the supervision of Prof. Sandro Zampieri, and co-supervised by Prof. Giacomo Baggio and Prof. Francesco Bullo. I am working on the mathematical analysis of recurrent neural network models, such as the Hopfield model and the firing rate model, using both standard algebraic tools for nonlinear systems and stochastic tools (S.D.E.s, Elliptic P.D.E.s, and Path integrals).

Since February 2025, I am a member of the IEEE Entrepreneurship and Start-ups commettee for the IEEE Italy Section. Join us at DAMA Tecnopolo, in Bologna, for the AInnovation Start-up contest 2026.

My academic goal is understanding how complex cognitive functions emerge from the interaction of simple computational units, and leverage this knowledge to responsibly design smart systems and new technological solutions.

I have lived most of my life in Italy, but throughout the years I have had short stays in the following cities:

• Auckland, New Zealand (2013) - Exchange student at Birkenhead college, 6 months
• Trondheim, Norway (2021) - Erasmus student at NTNU under the supervision of Prof. Yasser Roudi, 6 months
• Santa Barbara, CA, USA (2024-2025) - Visiting PhD student at UCSB under the supervision of Prof. Francesco Bullo, 9 months
