I am currently pursuing a PhD at Politecnico di Milano, under the supervison of Prof. Marcello Restelli. My research interests include Interpretability and Explainability in Reinforcement Learning and the application of Reinforcement Learning in Quantitative Finance. Presently, I am collaborating with the CVA Management and AI investments desk at Intesa Sanpaolo .

I am currently in the last year of my PhD and I am starting to explore opportunities in industry (both in Finance and Tech). Reach out to me if you would like to connect or discuss potential roles!
