Bio
I am a second year PhD student at University of Basel working under the supervision of Aurelien Lucchi. Prior to that, I have worked three years at UBS as AI Quantitative Analyst. I obtained my first Master of Science in Mathematics from the University of Milan and my second Master of Science in Quantitative Finance from ETH Zürich.
I am interested in Stochastic Optimization for Deep Learning, Implicit Bias, and their impacts on real world applications.
