Biografia

My PhD is a cotutelle program between the University of Tours (France) and Politecnico di Torino (Italy). As part of this program, I have followed various courses at each institution.

I attended soft-skill courses that included "Scientific Culture Dissemination", "Teaching Practices in Higher Education" and "Scientific Integrity and Open Science". These 50-hour courses focused on developing essential skills for my academic career. I also completed hard-skill courses such as the summer school "2025 School on Column Generation" (30 hours) and the "Bilevel Optimization" workshop (8 hours). In addition, I am planning to take courses in "Multiobjective Mathematical Programming" (20 hours) and "Computational Complexity and Approximation" (20 hours).

As part of my cotutelle program, I have completed a first visiting period of one month with my Italian PhD supervisor in Italy, which took place when I was based in France. And now that I am currently based in Italy, I will soon undertake a second visiting period of one month in France with my French PhD supervisor.

Furthermore, I have had the opportunity to teach various training units. For example, I delivered a unit focused on "Intelligent Maintenance and Process Management" to 5th-year students, covering both theoretical and practical aspects of neural network learning and their application. Additionally, I taught a unit on "Standard Template Library (STL)" in the 3rd year, guiding students in discovering and using STL in C++. In another instance, I supervised a unit on "Systems and Network Administration" for 4th-year students, where topics such as Windows Server setup, Active Directory, and DNS server configuration were explored. These experiences have not only helped me develop a deeper understanding of these complex concepts but has also honed my ability to communicate them effectively.
