"A mind wired for patterns. A soul allergic to nonsense."

About Me

I am a lifelong learner, researcher, and sarcastic observer of systems and chaos. My passion lies in crafting intelligent AI solutions that not only work—but make sense.

My journey is shaped by clarity, structure, and a strong sense of identity in everything I build. Whether it’s an algorithm or a sentence, I believe in getting things right with purpose. My work bridges theory and practice, is infused with wit, and wrapped in elegant logic.

Currently, I am affiliated with the Istituto di Scienza e Tecnologie dell’Informazione at the Italian National Research Council, where I develop innovative algorithms for complex clustering problems.

Research Interests

My research focuses on developing innovative algorithms for complex systems, with particular emphasis on multi-view clustering, heat-kernel methods, and fuzzy clustering approaches. I specialize in creating solutions that perform robustly under unpredictable conditions with heterogeneous data sources.

Specializations

Clustering Algorithms Multi-view learning Fuzzy C-Means Heat-Kernel Methods Federated learning Edge AI

I focus on unpredictable, real-world settings where systems are truly tested. My approach blends theoretical rigor with hands-on experimentation to build scalable, intelligent solutions that hold up beyond the lab. My work with heat-kernel coefficients has led to novel clustering algorithms that outperform traditional methods on heterogeneous data.

Experience & Projects

Algorithm Design

Designed novel clustering algorithms including E-MVFCM and EB-MVFCM that incorporate heat-kernel coefficients for enhanced performance with heterogeneous data.

Robustness Research

Examined system robustness under noise and manipulation across diverse operational environments, with particular focus on multi-view learning scenarios.

NeuralGlow.ai

Founded a satirical AI lab blending humor, critique, and product design to challenge hype culture and reimagine intelligent systems.
