Bio Sketch
I am a post-doc fellow at Sapienza University (Rome) and an honorary research fellow at the CogBID laboratory at the University of Stirling. My research is focused on neural networks, distributed learning, semi-supervised learning, kernel methods and audio classification. I am also available as a freelance consultant, and I like to present machine learning concepts in divulgative events, which recently led me to organize the first ML Meetup in Rome. Additionally, I taught a course in ML for the Master in Data Science at the University of Perugia.
Before my PhD, I obtained a Bachelor degree in Computer Engineering in 2009, and a Master degree in Artificial Intelligence and Robotics in 2011, during which I visited Tohoku University (Japan) for a summer school. In 2011, I worked for a year as a software developer.
This site collects my research papers, software codes, and teaching seminars. Feel free to browse around and contact me.
