Biography

Hello there! I am a Ph.D. student at Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna in Pisa, with a background in Artificial Intelligence (University of Trieste) and Computer Science (Sapienza University of Rome). My research focuses on the robustness and safety of Vision Transformers, particularly in driving scenarios and across different tasks.

In my spare time, I love exploring AI applications in gaming, hiking, and discovering new cultures through travel, food, and languages.

Do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or would like to connect.

Thank you for visiting!
