Bio

I am a Senior ML Engineer at PlayStation. In my research, I combine methodical experimental designs with principled deep learning architectures to achieve model performance that can be analysed and explained.

Previously, I was a Research Associate at the Personal Robotics Lab (PRL), Imperial College London, (UK) where I held the position of Senior Research Officer on the project “Closed-Loop Multisensory Brain-Computer Interfaces for Enhanced Decision Accuracy”. My main research goals in this project focused on designing explainable machine learning algorithms to decode human mental states from unobtrustive physiological signal and to use this information to improve human decision-making performance.

I received my Ph.D. Degree in Electronic Engineering from University College London (UCL) in April 2017 with the Thesis topic: “Energy Efficient Large Scale Antenna Systems for 5G Communications and Beyond”. At UCL, my research focused on Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) wireless communication systems and signal processing techniques, with special emphasis on large-scale antenna array systems and algorithms for energy efficient communications.

Before being a Ph.D. candidate in the Electronic and Engineering Department at University College London, I held a JPL Visiting Student Researchers Program position in the Jet Propulsion Laboratory Pasadena, CA (USA). At JPL, I worked on classification techniques for precipitation retrievals from radar data.

I received my M.Sc. degree with honours in Telecommunications Engineering from the University of Rome La Sapienza, Rome, Italy, in 2013.
