About
I am currently a postdoc in Jes Frellsen's group at DTU Compute. My research interests center on deep generative models, mostly diffusion-based and flow matching models, for molecular and materials generation. I am particularly interested in how these models handle multimodality and geometric constraints. I am also interested in probabilistic modeling and uncertainty quantification, topics I explored during my PhD.
I completed my PhD in June 2024 at DTU Compute, where I was really fortunate to work together with Jes Frellsen, Søren Hauberg, Pierre-Alexandre Mattei, and Georgios Arvanitidis. I have also spent some time as a visiting PhD student at the Computational and Biological Learning Lab at the University of Cambridge, collaborating with Emile Mathieu, Rich Turner, and José Miguel Hernández Lobato.
Before the PhD, I obtained my MSc degree in Computer Science and Engineering from DTU. During that time, I have spent one semester at the University of British Columbia (UBC). Prior to that, I obtained a BSc in Computer Engineering from University of Padua, Italy.
Outside the lab, I enjoy cycling, hiking, and exploring new coffee spots.
