Biography


I am a PhD student in Bioengineering and Medical-Surgical Sciences at Politecnico di Torino, where my research focuses on hearing, cognition, and audio signal processing. My academic background combines computer science with classical and electronic music, enabling me to address scientific challenges from an interdisciplinary perspective that integrates technical rigor with artistic sensitivity.
I earned a Master’s degree in Computer Science at the University of Turin, graduating with highest honors (110/110 cum laude with distinction), after completing my Bachelor’s degree in the same field. In parallel, I obtained a Bachelor’s degree in Electronic Music with a compositional focus at the METS Conservatory in Cuneo, with 110/110 cum laude, where I specialized in audio synthesis, digital sound processing, and algorithmic composition.
I have always cultivated 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, machine learning, and the integration of computing with musical instruments. I have worked as a computer science teacher in several schools and training institutes, and as a research fellow at Politecnico di Torino, where I began working on immersive spatial audio environments to investigate the auditory and cognitive abilities of hearing-impaired individuals.
I am a flexible, curious person, strongly motivated by the opportunity to build bridges across different disciplines.
