About
I'm a Computer Engineer and a Ph.D. candidate in Data Science at the Department of Computer, Control and Management Engineering (DIAG) of Sapienza University of Rome.
My Ph.D. advisor is Aris Anagnostopoulos and my co-advisors are Simone Scardapane and Paolo Tieri.
My research interests are in the field of AI for medicine, mainly focusing on deep learning in bioinformatics and chemoinformatics.
I was teaching assistant (TA) for the Data Mining, Social Network and Online Markets and Bioinformatics and Network Medicine courses.
From September 2022 to February 2023, I was a visiting Ph.D. researcher at the Department of Life Science Informatics and Data Science, B-IT, LIMES Institute at The University of Bonn. I work here under the supervision of Prof. Jürgen Bajorath.
