Find me on :
Associate Professor at the Computer Science, Bioengineering, Robotics and Systems Engineering Department (DIBRIS) at the University of Genoa, Italy.
PI at the Machine Learning Genoa Center (MaLGa), leading the Computational Imaging & Learning (CIL) research unit.
Affiliated to the Molecular Microscopy and Spectroscopy team at the Italian Institute of Technology (IIT), Genoa, Italy.
CNRS researcher (chargé de recherche) in the Morpheme team at the I3S laboratory in Sophia-Antipolis, France (on leave since Nov. 2024).
My research lies in the modelling and the optimisation of mathematical signal and image processing problems, with focus on:
variational reconstruction methods in imaging inverse problems
non-smooth & non-convex optimisation
physics-inspired learning for imaging inverse problems
with applications to:
computational microscopy
digital restoration and analysis of artworks
bio-inspired models for vision.
I am always looking for motivated and brilliant people willing to work with me. In case you are interested in my research activity, do not hesitate to submit spontaneous applications following this link or contacting me directly via e-mail.
