About Me
I’m a PhD candidate at INSAIT, researching foundational models for bio-inspired computer vision (event cameras) under Professor Luc Van Gool and Dr. Lei Sun. My past work spans diffusion models, spatio-temporal predictive learning, novel semi-supervised learning.

Selected Experience

  • University of Zurich & Max Planck Institute (Jun 2024 – feb 2025)
  • Developed diffusion models for controllable image generation; led projects presented at ECCV workshops.
  • Vector Institute & Queen’s University (Feb 2024 – Sept 2024)
  • Improved prostate cancer detection by designing a novel semi-supervised training method using adversarial noise.
  • Sapienza University (Sept 2022 – Present)
  • Led research in spatio-temporal predictive learning and conducted a comprehensive survey on Optical Flow.
