▪︎ Developing and applying algorithms for the analysis of large-scale genomic data. Working independently and as part of a team, by assisting my colleagues with mathematical frameworks whenever needed. ▪︎ Actively involved in teaching and scientific dissemination, being in the organising committee of two conferences and teaching in the courses "Introduction to computational models for Biosciences" and "Bioinformatics" at the department of Biosciences.

I worked within the Shape Modelling Group:▪︎ Developed and implemented methods for the reconstruction, analysis and comparison of proteins and other macromolecules by combining tools from different scientific disciplines, such as, topological data analysis and graph theory. ▪︎ Benchmarked own routines on different existing datasets. Introduced new benchmarks to help scientist in exploring the capability of their tools. ▪︎ Continued conducting interdisciplinary research in other… Show more I worked within the Shape Modelling Group:▪︎ Developed and implemented methods for the reconstruction, analysis and comparison of proteins and other macromolecules by combining tools from different scientific disciplines, such as, topological data analysis and graph theory. ▪︎ Benchmarked own routines on different existing datasets. Introduced new benchmarks to help scientist in exploring the capability of their tools. ▪︎ Continued conducting interdisciplinary research in other fields such as shape approximation and pattern recognition.▪︎ Co-organised several research contests and shared interdisciplinary knowledge in regional and international conferences.Most of the results of these years were published on leading technical journals: Computer Aided Geometric Design (Elsevier), Computer-Aided Design (Elsevier), Computers & Graphics (Elsevier), Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences (Frontiers). The remaining results are currently under revision/ongoing. Show less

I held a position in the Geometry Group, where I focused on the combination of computational geometry and statistical learning, both from a theoretical and a computational point of view. Precisely, the position dealt with:▪︎ Shape approximation: I developed new numerical approaches for the computation of approximate implicit/parametric representations from parametrically defined hypersurfaces, scattered data and perturbed point clouds. ▪︎ Shape analysis: I designed new numerical… Show more I held a position in the Geometry Group, where I focused on the combination of computational geometry and statistical learning, both from a theoretical and a computational point of view.

Moreover, I visited and collaborated with research institutes and international companies:☞ ATHENA Research and Innovation Centre (Athens, Greece, Mar 2018 – Jun 2018).☞ RISC Software GmbH (Linz, Austria, Oct 2018 – Mar 2019).☞ National Research Council of Italy CNR-IMATI (Genoa, Italy, Mar 2019 – Jul 2019).I succeeded in publishing my findings in leading technical journals of different research communities: Computer Aided Geometric Design (Elsevier), Computers & Graphics (Elsevier), Numerical Algorithms (Springer) Show less

I studied and implemented in C++ a hybrid descriptor – based on both geometry and texture – for clustering 3D images modelled by triangle meshes. I tested the implementation both on simulated and real data sets.
