Bio

I’m a Postdoctoral Researcher in AI at Sapienza University of Rome, where I apply interpretable machine-learning methods to decode neural signals and uncover mechanistic insights from brain data.

Before my postdoc I completed a PhD in Data Science at Sapienza and was a visiting researcher at TU Darmstadt. My research spans multimodal learning, topological data analysis, embodied AI and egocentric video understanding. My work has appeared in venues such as ICLR (Spotlight), CVPR, WACV and BMVC.

Outside research I recharge through photography, trekking and contemporary art.
