Hi 👋
👨🔬 I build AI agents at NVIDIA, with the Applied Agents Research and Kaggle Grandmasters teams.
🎓 I completed my PhD in Data Science at Sapienza University of Rome, where my research focused on efficient and interpretable machine learning, under the supervision of Simone Scardapane.
🏴 I was previously a visiting researcher at Edinburgh NLP, supervised by Pasquale Minervini.
🔬 My research background spans both Computer Vision and Natural Language Processing. My current research interests include AI agents, alignment & interpretability [3, 4], diffusion language models [6, 7], efficient LLM inference [1,2], and adaptive computation [2, 5].
Blog
📝 I maintain a small blog where I share code tutorials and insights on various deep learning topics, feel free to take a look!
