• 🛠 I like statistical-to-computational gaps, and reading about methods from physics and probability mixing up.

• 👨‍💻 Some notes are in my writings window.

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.

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