Assistant Professor at Politecnico di Milano, Italy. I like to travel, eat and teach. Current research interests machine learning for quantum computing, recommender systems evaluation and reproducibility.
Fully-funded #PhD at Politecnico di Milano on #QuantumComputing algorithms, deadline December 18th
There is ample flexibility on the specific focus. Ideal candidates have a strong background in computer science and quantum computing.
I encourage you to reach out if you are interested!

Very happy to see a full room at our #RecSys2025 tutorial "Hands on #QuantumComputing for Recommender Systems" presented by me and Paolo Cremonesi. We covered gate model QC and #quantumannealing with examples on community detection and feature selection.

Back from IEEE #QuantumWeek in Albuquerque.
Next stop: Bologna for the Italian Information Science Conference, where tomorrow I'll give an invited talk on using #MachineLearning for #QuantumComputing: circuit design, minor embedding, and bosonic state preparation. See you there!

“Is AI good for teaching? Let’s ask an entrepreneur whose entire business is based on that, instead of actual experts”
A.I. is changing classrooms. We spoke to the co-founder of Alpha Schools about how her private K-12 schools are using A.I. to generate personalized lesson plans and enabling teachers to spend their time motivating rather than teaching students. nyti.ms/3JHIZub

See you in Albuquerque for #QCE2025 where my PhD student @ricpellini will present “On the Correct Implementation of the Walsh Series Loader”.
We propose how to implement an essential component that was not described in the original paper.

Heading back from #SIGIR2025!
It was a pleasure to spend this week in the beautiful Padova meeting and discussing with the community, alongside my PhD students Riccardo Pellini and Michael Benigni

Entering my last month as a visiting researcher at the SQMS Center, #Fermilab, working on state preparation for Bosonic #quantumcomputing.
It has been a great experience so far! Sad to see this period come to a close, but I’m glad the project we've been working on will continue as I return home.
