Biography

I am a PhD student in Bioengineering and Medical-Surgical Sciences at the Politecnico di Torino, where I conduct research in the fields of hearing, cognition, and audio signal processing. My educational background combines computer science with classical and electronic music, allowing me to approach scientific problems from an interdisciplinary perspective that integrates technical rigor with artistic sensitivity.
I earned both my Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Computer Science from the University of Torino, graduating with excellent results. In parallel, I obtained a Bachelor's degree in Electronic Music with a compositional focus from the METS in Cuneo, where I deepened my knowledge of audio synthesis, digital sound processing, and algorithmic composition. I have always nurtured a strong interest in mathematics and physics, which I have also taught privately to high school and university students.
Over the years, I have developed advanced programming skills, with a particular focus on digital audio and the integration of computer science with musical instruments. I work with environments such as SuperCollider and MaxMSP for sound synthesis and manipulation, as well as various programming languages in more traditional domains.
I have worked as a computer science teacher in various schools and training institutes, and as a research fellow at the Politecnico di Torino, where I began exploring immersive spatial audio environments for studying the hearing and cognitive abilities of hearing-impaired individuals. I am a flexible and curious person, strongly motivated by the opportunity to build bridges between different disciplines.
