I am an Associate Professor of Mathematics at the University of Bologna.
My research interests range from pure mathematics to machine learning (ML) & artificial intelligence (AI). Within mathematics, most of my work focuses on combinatorial topology, the theory of Coxeter and Artin groups, and hyperplane arrangements. On the ML/AI side, I am particularly interested in language models and applications of AI to mathematics, formalization, and games.
I am frequently involved in the organization of mathematics and programming competitions. In particular, I am currently a member of the Italian Mathematical Olympiad committee.
