My research activity covers topics of Theoretical Computer Science and Mathematics, and particularly of Algorithmics.
More specifically, my main research interests are related to:
Algorithmic Game Theory (an area in the intersection of Computer Science, Mathematics and Economics);
Approximation/Online/Randomized Algorithms;
Stochastic Optimization;
Combinatorial Optimization.
Other interests of mine are:
music: I play piano, and I particularly like Jazz and Rock music;
movies: in particular, I like to see Italian comedies (e.g., Totò, Roberto Benigni, Alberto Sordi, Aldo Giovanni & Giacomo, Carlo Verdone, and many others);
art: in particular, I like to do abstract drawings;
travelling.
