B.Sc. Artificial Intelligence | Universitร degli Studi di Pavia
๐ Pavia, Italy | ๐ Expected Graduation: February 2026
I am a final-year AI undergraduate with four research internships spanning diverse domains from temporal graph neural networks for financial prediction to multimodal deep learning for cancer immunotherapy. My research journey reflects a deliberate exploration toward understanding principled machine learning methods that bridge theoretical foundations with real-world impact.
Currently focused on computational biology and healthcare AI, I'm particularly interested in deep generative models, multimodal data integration, and uncertainty quantification in high-dimensional biological systems.
"Each project was a step toward understanding not just how to apply machine learning, but what fundamental principles govern effective learning from complex data."

Core Questions I'm Pursuing:
- How should we weight different modalities when they provide conflicting signals?
- What inductive biases are appropriate for cross-modal representation learning?
- How do we rigorously quantify uncertainty when integrating heterogeneous biological data?
I'm actively looking to work in Machine Learning, Computational Biology, and AI for Healthcare.
Open to discussing research collaborations, opportunities, and innovative applications of ML in biology and medicine.
