Something about myself

I am an Assistant Professor in Mathematics at School of Mathematical Sciences of Dublin City University (DCU). My research focuses on numerical optimization and numerical linear algebra, with practical applications in machine learning, deep learning, and image processing. Specifically, my work involves designing, analyzing, and implementing efficient algorithms to solve complex computational problems in these areas. 

I was born in 1991 in Caserta (Italy), a medium-sized town in southern Italy mainly known for the "Reggia", a royal palace built in the 18th century by the kings of Naples. The palace and its wonderful park are a UNESCO World Heritage Site. I'm in love with mathematics since I was a little kid, and after many years of study my love is apparently still strong.
