I am a Senior AI Research Scientist at the Samsung AI Center in Warsaw, Poland, where I am part of the Agentic Reasoning Lab. My current research focus is centered around parameter-efficient fine-tuning and agentic reasoning of large multimodal models.
I graguated with a Ph.D. in Computer Science from Sapienza University of Rome in 2025, where I was part of the Perception and Intelligence Lab led by Prof. Fabio Galasso.
Prior to that, I obtained a Master's degree in Data Science from Sapienza University of Rome in 2021 (110/110 cum laude), and a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science and Engineering from Roma Tre University in 2019.
Outside of research, I enjoy spending time in nature, reading, photography, running, playing guitar, and working out.
