I am a Computer Engineer with a PhD in Artificial Intelligence, which I completed in September 2026 within the Italian National Doctoral Programme in Artificial Intelligence at the Department of Computer, Control and Management Engineering (DIAG) of Sapienza University of Rome, under the supervision of Prof. Maurizio Lenzerini and Prof. Antonella Poggi.
I received both my BSc in Computer and Systems Engineering and my MSc in Engineering in Computer Science from Sapienza University of Rome.
My research focuses on Artificial Intelligence, with particular interests in Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (KRR), semantic technologies, Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI), and the integration of symbolic and sub-symbolic approaches in Neuro-Symbolic AI. I am also interested in ontology-based data management and information integration.
