About me
A little less formal
👋 Welcome! I am a computer scientist and academic at the University of Bari Aldo Moro, where I combine research and teaching with the occasional attempt to make artificial intelligence a little more understandable beyond the university walls.
If you happen to visit the department, you'll usually find me either in my sixth-floor office or, most often, in the CILAB lab on the fourth floor, where the real magic happens. Every now and then, I also make a strategic stop in Professor Giovanna Castellano's office, mainly to “borrow” a few taralli and share them with whoever happens to be around!
Research
What I do
I work mainly on deep learning, computer vision and multimodal AI, with increasing attention to efficient and trustworthy AI for real-world systems.
My research spans e-health, autonomous drones and digital humanities, among other domains.
