Courses a.y. 2024/2025

Biographical note

I graduated in theoretical physics at Sapienza University of Rome under the supervision of Giorgio Parisi in 2015.

I then got a PhD in physics at University of Milan in 2018, under joint supervision of Sergio Caracciolo and Giorgio Parisi. From 2018 to 2021 I was a post doc in the artificial intelligence lab in Bocconi University.

I am now an assistant professor in Bocconi University.


Research interests

I am mainly interested in the statistical physics of disordered systems (i.e. spin glasses) and their interdisciplinary applications, ranging from constrained optimization problems, to machine learning and high dimensional statistics.
