Short Biography

I hold a PhD degree in computer science (MICC, University of Florence) and I am a former postdoctoral researcher at the HumanTech institute (HES-SO Fribourg).

I have a strong interest in new technologies in general, with specific expertise in machine learning, human-computer interactions and multimedia processing.

I also enjoyed 5 years of teaching in domains like machine learning, information systems and web development.

In my free time, photography is one of my main passions. I am also addicted to Rubik's cube, with a growing collection of twisty puzzles.
