Hello!

I am a first-year PhD student in Artificial Intelligence at Sapienza University of Rome, working under the guidance of Professor Fabrizio Silvestri and collaborating with the RSTLess group. My doctoral studies are supported by a research grant from the National PhD Program in Artificial Intelligence.

My research interests are centered around Natural Language Processing and Information Retrieval, with a current deep focus on Retrieval Augmented Generation. My academic journey began at the same university, where I earned my bachelor’s degree in Information Engineering and my master’s degree in Engineering in Computer Science, both with laude.

Driven by a fascination with the experimental nature of Machine Learning, I view each challenge as a new opportunity to innovate and push the boundaries of model performance. I believe that every dataset tells a story and every model presents a puzzle waiting to be solved .

Outside of my academic life, I enjoy staying active through calisthenics and swimming .
