About me

I got my Ph.D. at the Linguistic Computing Laboratory of the Department of Computer Science at La Sapienza University of Rome, under the supervision of Prof. Roberto Navigli and Alessandro Mei (SystemLabs).
My thesis addresses Word Sense Disambiguation in multiple languages, a task in the the Computational Semantics area of NLP.

In my current role, I work as an NLP/ML Engineer at Apple AI/ML Siri department.

In my free time I play modern Jazz guitar, ride my bike, enjoy retrogames and build custom CPUs.
