Hello! I am a postdoc at IRIF (Université Paris Cité), with Frédéric Magniez and Pierre Fraigniaud. Before that, I spent two years as a postdoctoral researcher at Bocconi University, in the group of Luca Trevisan. I obtained my Ph.D. at the University of L'Aquila in May 2023, advised by Andrea Clementi and Luciano Gualà. 
My research interests include distributed algorithms and random processes with computational applications.
