I am a student of the research M2 in Probability and Statistics Institut de Mathématique d’Orsay, Paris-Saclay University.

• 🛠 My main research interest is theory of learning. I like statistical-to-computational gaps, and reading about methods from physics and probability mixing up.

• 👨‍💻 Give a look at the writings window if you want to know more about these topics.

• 🌊 Check this blog post if you want to read about what I like outside of research.
• 🎨 The prompt I gave to Dall-E2 for the surprisingly self resembling image was

  “Van Gogh style painting of an Italian boy in his 20s with a shirt and eyeglasses, brown curly hair, brown eyes”

Perhaps I am an approximate ground state of some Open AI’s ML model…

previously

In the near past, I was a research intern @KAUST in Prof. Richtárik’s group, focusing on optimization. Before, I was a research intern @ENS Paris under the supervision of Bruno Loureiro, exploring stochastic gradient descent dynamics beyond the unstructured assumption. In 2023, I was a research intern @IST Austria under the supervision of Prof. Marco Mondelli, where I worked on approximate message passing and information theoretic limits of a model of inference.

I graduated with an MS in Data Science at Bocconi University. My supervisor was Prof. Carlo Lucibello. Before my graduate studies, I completed a bachelor in economics and computer science.
