About Me

I am a second-year PhD student in Statistics & Computer Science at Bocconi University, advised by Hugo Lavenant.

I obtained my BSc and MSc in Mathematics from University of Pavia.

Research interests: My current field of research is optimal transport.
More broadly, I am interested in studying problems from statistics and computation with tools from calculus of variations, gradient flows and differential geometry.

Currently, I am working on variational problems involving Sinkhorn divergences, with motivations from machine learning and numerical analysis.
