🎡 I'm a London-based AI enthusiast with the dream of giving my small contribution to the quest for intelligence, bridging the gap between neural models and symbolic systems.
🎓 I obtained my Bachelor of Engineering from Polytechnic of Milan and my Master of Science in AI from University of Milan-Bicocca. I also completed my PhD studies at Leipzig University, where I authored 10+ first-author publications in the fields of machine learning, knowledge graphs, and question answering.
🔬 I recently worked on AI-driven strategic foresight, a novel intersectional field where language models are leveraged to forecast future events for strategic decision making. You can read an open-access paper on our most recent work which was published in the proceedings of IEEE ICSC 2025.
🥁 My personal interests include genealogy (building a genealogist agent), progressive music (published 3 albums as a drummer and a solo AI album), quantitative finance (experimented with trading strategies), but also quantified self, association football, gaming, VR, and science fiction.
