Hi there! I am an Associate Professor of graph machine learning at The Delft University of Technology (TU Delft), The Netherlands, where I also co-founded and co-direct AIdrolab -- one of the 24 TU Delft AI Labs-- in which we research foundamental and applied graph-based data processing  for water networks and flood modeling. Prior to this appointment, I was a postdoctoral researcher at The University of Pennsylvania (UPENN) and obtained my Ph.D. degree at TU Delft on graph signal processing. I did my master's and bachelor's studies at The University of Perugia in Italy. I have been privileged to be guided by some great mentors throughout my career including Prof. Alejandro Ribeiro (postdoc), Prof. Geert Leus (Ph.D.), and Prof. Paolo Banelli (master and bachelor). 

My group conducts foundamental research on the intersection of signal processing and machine learning for graphs and other topological structures. We also look at applications in critical infrastructure networks, recommender systems and sensor networks. This research is carried out together with an outstanding team of Ph.D. students and collaborators that you can find here.

This webpage is meant to provide some up-to-date information about the list of publications, the research thrusts, student-related information, and a more formal third-person bio. Find also my Google Scholar and LinkedIn profiles.
