I’m actively seeking assistant professor positions in the upcoming academic cycles. Feel free to take a look at my CV and reach out via email!
We are organizing a Winter School on "Cryptography and Machine Learning" to be held from February 2 to 5, 2026, in Turin, Italy.
Registration is now open! Students also have the possibility to apply for financial support.
Since June 2025, I have been a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellow at Bocconi University.
Prior to that, I was a postdoctoral researcher, again at Bocconi, in Giulio Malavolta's group. Before that, I spent a year at NTT Research working with Hoeteck Wee.
I completed my Ph.D. in Computer Science at TU Wien (with a parallel research appointment at AIT), under the supervision of Daniel Slamanig and Matteo Maffei, focusing on lattice-based cryptographic constructions.
I hold an M.Sc. in Mathematics from Universität Bonn, and B.Sc. degrees in Mathematics (Sapienza Università di Roma) and Economics (Università di Pisa). While studying Economics I was also a student at Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna.
