Startup Mindset
Building an AI startup in stealth
Born in 1998, I am passionate about innovation and Artificial Intelligence (AI). Driven by curiosity and an entrepreneurial spirit, I explore fields ranging from 3D printing to personal finance and digital content, seeking meaningful connections between ideas and impact. As an aspiring AI entrepreneur, my goal is to create technologies that blend scientific rigor with real-world value, improving lives and advancing progress. I approach challenges with precision and creativity, turning uncertainty into growth opportunities.
Guided by the belief that 'life is all about people', I strive not only to build technology that changes the world, but to understand the people it serves—because true innovation begins with empathy and ends with purpose.

Global Profile
AI Researcher and Engineer specialising in label-efficient deep learning, computer vision, and generative models for medical imaging. I have published 12 peer-reviewed papers at venues including NeurIPS, MICCAI (oral, top 2%), WACV, ISBI and ICCV workshops, and brought AI models into real clinical software. My ambition is to build AI systems that truly impact people's lives — because at the end of the day, life is all about people.
I am completing a PhD in Computer Science and Systems Engineering at the University of Genoa (MaLGa, DIBRIS), co-funded by Snoots S.r.l., with visiting research periods at the University of Oxford (2025) and Télécom Paris (2026), where I work on 3D diffusion models and interpretable counterfactuals for brain MRI.
Beyond research, I collaborate with Martuccio AI on multi-agent systems that automate business workflows, and I am now building my own AI startup in stealth. Get early access.

🖨️ 3D Printing
I own a Creality Ender 3 and love designing and printing functional parts, gadgets, and prototypes. It's a fantastic way to bring ideas to life and iterate quickly on physical designs.

📸 Drone Photography
I fly a DJI Mini 2 to capture aerial photos and videos of landscapes, coastlines, and cityscapes. Drone photography gives a completely different perspective on the world and is one of my favourite creative outlets.
