Biography
Classico Vittorio Alfieri (90/100).
I graduated in Mathematics from the University of Turin in June 2020 after
completing a Bachelor’s Degree Program (102/110) and then I obtained a Master’s Degree in Mathematics from the University of Turin in
June 2023 (110/110 com laude and honors). My career plan was
focused on Differential Geometry and Analysis, with particular regard to Dif-
ferential Equations and Non-Linear Analysis.
My thesis work was a dissertation on rotating spirals in segregated reaction-
diffusion systems, which introduced me to the world of research. This research
topic highly revolved on differential equations and variational methods.
During the final year of my Master’s Program, I started to explore the vast
world of Machine Learning, with a particular emphasis on Deep Learning and
Neural Networks. Throughout the months I expanded my theoretical knowledge
of Neural Networks, their applications and the main architectures used, such as
Convolutional Neural, Residual Networks and Tranformers.
After few months of studying, I became determined to pursue a Ph.D. in Deep
Learning. I was and still am confident that I could usefully apply the knowledge,
the tools, the problem solving mentality and the abstract thinking I acquired
during my Bachelor’s and Master’s Degrees to many Machine Learning research
areas, such as Deep Learning. Moreover, I think that combining all the afore-
mentioned things I’ve learned from my studies in Mathematics with knowledge
in Computer Science and Machine Learning could help me offer a new perspec-
tive and a fresh approach to some Deep Learning problems and it might also
inspire me with interesting insights and ideas for research.
After the graduation I was offered the chance to start, in October 2023, a Re-
search Fellowship in Deep Learning at Politecnico di Torino with Prof. Enrico
Magli, an opportunity I was enthusiastic to accept.
The topics of the fellowship concerned building a
robust and efficient Edge-AI for remote Image Analysis, i.e. onboard a satellite,
and a new method for Quantization-Aware Training applied to Self-Supervised
environments, with particular regard to Self-Supervised Contrastive Learning.
After six moths, I was offered a P.h.D. scholarship with Prof. Enrico Magli wich I started in March 2024.
My research focuses on developing efficient deep learning techniques and models for remote sensing deployment,
with particular regard to possible on board usage.
Currently I am working on new models for analyze hyperspectral images, exploiting the new architectures that have been published in the
last few months.
