About Me

I am a post-doc researcher at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering (DISI) of the University of Bologna.

I mainly work on Constrained Machine Learning applied to Algorithmic Fairness, with a PhD thesis titled “Detection and Enforcement of Non-Linear Correlations for Fair and Robust Machine Learning Applications.

I have also explored other areas of Artificial Intelligence such as music generation models and decision-focused learning for combinatorial optimization problems.

In my free time, I also like to go to concerts and play music. I played for 7 years in an electropop duo called Divinae Miranda, we also published one album and one EP that you can listen here. Now I am working on my solo project SempreVerde, where I blend italian singing/songwriting tradition with electronic and techno elements.
