About

Short bio

I’m with Ericsson in Stockholm, Sweden.

Previously, I was a Postdoctoral Researcher at Chalmers University of Techonology, Gothenburg, Sweden, where I worked with Giuseppe Durisi on several topics in information theory.

Prior to moving back to Europe, I held an SUTD-MIT Postdoctoral Fellowship, and I spent one year at the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD), Singapore, and one year at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), MA, USA, where I worked with Tony Q. S. Quek and Moe Z. Win on topics in wireless communications and networks.

Previously, I earned a double Ph.D. degree jointly at Sapienza Università di Roma, Italy, and CentraleSupélec (Université Paris-Saclay), France. The topic of my doctorate revolved around the impact of sparsity in communications.

I am interested in information theory, machine learning, and more broadly in mathematics and computer science, with a particular emphasis on discrete probability and multivariate statistics.
