Hi! I am a PhD student in the Stat&CS program at Bocconi University, where I have the good fortune to have been advised by Luca Trevisan, and lately by Alon Rosen and Salil Vadhan.
I like mathematical questions motivated by the theory of computing, meaning that they’re concerned with algorithms and computational complexity theory.
Recently I have been thinking about questions related to
- spectral graph theory
- applications of the Sum-of-Squares algorithms
- average-case complexity of optimization/inference problems
