About me
I am currently a postdoctoral researcher in the IOL Group at the Zuse Institute Berlin, where I work with Sebastian Pokutta among others.
Previously, I completed a joint PhD in Computer Science at École Polytechnique, France, and Università di Pisa, Italy, mentored by Claudia D’Ambrosio, Antonio Frangioni and Leo Liberti. I hold an MSc in Data Science and Business Informatics from Università di Pisa.
Research
My research focuses on convex optimization, with a strong emphasis on first-order methods. Recently I have been working with Frank-Wolfe algorithms for solving convex problems with structured constraints. During my PhD, I explored the integration of machine learning predictors into mixed-integer (non)linear problems, and mathematical programming, in particular the distance geometry problem.
My PhD thesis is Algorithmic Configuration by Learning and Optimization.
I was fortunate to receive the “Premio Lorenzo Brunetta”, awarded to the best PhD thesis in operations research obtained in the years 2019–2021.
