Academic Background⌗

Starting with a foundation in Statistics from the University of Trieste, I expanded my expertise through a master’s degree in Data Science and Scientific Computing. This academic journey led me to discover my interest in High-Performance Computing (HPC) and Cloud technologies.

I am currently pursuing a PhD in Applied Data Science & Artificial Intelligence at the University of Trieste and Area Science Park, with a research project titled: “Converged Computing: Environments and Technologies for Hybrid HPC and Kubernetes Infrastructures.”


Driven by a passion for reimagining computational systems, my research focuses on hybrid infrastructures where high-performance computing meets cloud-native technologies — leveraging the strengths of both paradigms.

Research Interests⌗

My research interests include:

  • DevOps practices for Data Science and HPC: Deploying and managing applications in dynamic environments, ensuring scalability, reliability, and—most importantly—reproducibility.
  • Cloud-Native Technologies: Exploring Kubernetes and containerization to build flexible, scalable computing environments for data- and compute-intensive scientific applications.
  • Distributed Systems: Studying architectures and tools that enable multiple computers to work together seamlessly — including parallel file systems, job schedulers, and networking.
  • Open Science: Promoting open access to research data, methods, and publications to foster collaboration and transparency within the scientific community.
  • Data Engineering: Designing robust data pipelines and infrastructures to support large-scale data processing and analysis.
  • Data Science & Artificial Intelligence: The first love never fades away :)

Personal Interests⌗

Outside academia, I am a Linux enthusiast and open-source advocate. In the rare moments when I’m not immersed in code or research papers, I enjoy reading science fiction novels or watching films and series. Recently, I’ve developed a keen interest in electronics and the world of microcontrollers, often tinkering with small projects involving Raspberry Pi and ESP32 boards.

I am also a member of the Artificial Intelligence Student Society (AI2S), an outreach-centric volunteer organization operating chiefly in the Trieste Area.
