I am a PhD Candidate in Data Science at the Scuola Normale Superiore, Pisa, Italy, under the supervision of Salvatore Ruggieri. As an Early-Stage Researcher with the NoBIAS ITN at the KDD Lab of the University of Pisa, I’m also the recipient of a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Action from the European Commission through Horizon 2020.

My main research area is algorithmic fairness, with a focus on causal reasoning and data science applications for decision-making systems.

As of Summer 2024, I will be on the job market.
