About Me
I am pursuing a double M.S. in Computer Science and Engineering between Politecnico di Milano and the University of Illinois Chicago, where I am advised by Prof. Philip S. Yu (ACM, IEEE, and AAAS Fellow). Previously, I was fortunate to be advised by Prof. Lu Cheng. My current research interests include reasoning in LLMs, post-training, and curriculum learning.
I am currently a Visiting Student Researcher at the University of Oxford, in the Department of Computer Science, working on Neurosymbolic AI and efficiency in post-training of LLMs.
Previously I was a Google Summer of Code contributor for Jenkins, where I designed and built an AI-powered chatbot for the Jenkins ecosystem, shipped as a production-ready open-source plugin. The project is actively maintained with ~70 open issues and growing community interest (contributions are very welcome!). I also worked on 3D object detection for the Politecnico di Milano’s autonomous driving team AIDA, sponsored by FIAT, Maserati and Cisco.
I am open to work opportunities and research collaborations -> Feel free to reach out!
