Hi! I am a PhD student in the Stat&CS program at Bocconi University. I was advised by Luca Trevisan until mid of 2024. Lately I have been co-advised by Salil Vadhan and Alon Rosen.
My research interests lie broadly in the design and analysis of algorithms, in computational complexity theory, and their interplay with related areas of mathematics.
Currently I am mostly thinking about
- spectral graph theory and its application to graph partitioning algorithms.
- average-case complexity
News
I am looking for a postdoc position starting from September 2026/Spring 2027.
I will be visiting EPFL from May to August, kindly hosted by Ola Svensson.
