About me

I graduated in telecommunications with the University of Trento, where I received both my Bachelor's and Master's degree.

I did my Erasmus at the University of Iceland, which eventually led to three years of doctoral studies and earning the title of PhD.

Since then, I've been a research assistant at JSC - Jülich Supercomputing Centre, later becoming Head of Simulation and Data Lab. Since 2022, I have been granted adjunct associate Professorship at the University of Iceland in Reykjavík. I work at the intersection of Remote Sensing (RS), High Performance Computing (HPC), Quantum Computing (QC) and Machine Learning (ML).
