Ciao! I am Umberto, a last year Machine Learning PhD student in EPFL under the supervision of Prof. Matthieu Wyart. I am on the job market! 🔴 Looking for ways to tackle scientific and production problems using GenAI and Machine Learning 🔬💻. 

The overarching goal of my PhD research in Machine Learning  is to understand how the black box 📦 of neural networks 🧠 💻  learns and represent the structure and the semantics of the input data 🖼️. We use a combination of analytical approaches ✍️ and extensive numerical experiments ⌨️.

Previously, I studied Statistical Physics 🧮 at the University of Padova. My master's thesis, with Prof. Valerio Lucarini, was about analyzing the response of spatially extended climate models 🌡️ to external perturbations, for example an increase of CO2 in the atmosphere .
