Daniele Lizzio Bosco

I am a third-year PhD student in an inter-university doctoral program, co-hosted by the University of Udine and the University of Naples Federico II. I am a member of the AI LAB under the supervision of Prof. Giuseppe Serra.

My primary research area is Quantum Artificial Intelligence. I am mostly interested in how Deep Learning can be used to enhance Quantum Computing. I also have some experience with Quantum Machine Learning techniques.

I am part of the local organizing committee of the European Summer School on Quantum AI (EQAI).

Before that, I completed my Master's degree in an international double degree program in Artificial Intelligence & Cybersecurity between the University of Udine and the University of Klagenfurt.
