CARLO LUCIBELLO

Courses a.y. 2024/2025

I’m currently teaching Python programming courses at the Bachelor and MSc level, and Machine Learning courses at the Bachelor and PhD level.


Biographical note

I am an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at Bocconi University. I earned my PhD in Physics in 2015 from Sapienza University, under the supervision of Giorgio Parisi and Federico Ricci-Tersenghi. My research leverages analytical methods from statistical physics to deepen the theoretical understanding of machine learning and neural networks. I develop efficient, physics-inspired algorithms for learning, optimization, and inference.


Research interests

Neural Networks, Machine Learning, Statistical Inference, Disordered Systems, Statistical Physics, Combinatorial Optimization.
