I'm a PhD student at Politecnico di Torino, in the Physics of Complex System group at DISAT (Department of Applied Science and Technology). Currently, my work focuses on statistical learning applied to biology-related problems. In particular, I'm studying inference techniques inspired by the attention mechanism (originally developed for Natural Language Processing in ML) in the context of protein structure and function prediction. Along with Prof. Andrea Pagnani, my PhD supervisor, I collaborate with researcher in our group at Politecnico and across Europe. I got my Master's Degree in Physics of Complex Systems from Politecnico di Torino in 2022, with a final score of 110/110 cum laude. During my master I spent a semester in Paris, France at Université Paris-Saclay, Université de Paris and Sorbonne Université for an Erasmus Program.I got my Bachelor's Degree in Physical Engineering at Politecnico di Torino in July 2020, after spending an academic year in Birmingham, UK enrolled in the 1st year of MSci in Physics. Among my interests there is computational biology, statistical learning and theoretical physics. In particular, the computational aspects and the machine learning applications of statistical physics are among my current areas of research.
