I'm Researcher
About
My career combines a strong academic foundation with practical experience as a freelance software developer, AI consultant and high school educator.
Engineering in Computer Science PhD student
I am a Ph.D. student in Engineering in Computer Science at Sapienza University of Rome, currently conducting research in the ALCOR Computer Vision Lab. My work focuses on developing and optimizing innovative, portable Computer Vision models tailored for edge devices, aiming to push the boundaries of efficiency and deployment flexibility in real-world applications. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Computer and Automation Engineering and a Master's degree in Artificial Intelligence and Robotics, where I graduated with top honors. My academic journey has provided a strong foundation in advanced computing, intelligent systems, and automation, guiding my current research in cutting-edge computer vision for edge devices. I have gained international experience as a student in various universities and schools across Europe and Asia, including in the Czech Republic, France, Portugal, Finland, England, Scotland, Ireland, and Japan. Currently, I collaborate with Tecnoseta SRL to help revitalize the Italian silk supply chain within the framework of Industry 4.0. I am also passionate about teaching and have experience as a high school instructor, where I enjoy engaging students with a hands-on approach to learning.
