Short bio
I am a post-doctoral fellow in the Machine Learning Group at the Université Libre de Bruxelles. The project I am involved in aims at unravelling the information processing patterns of SH2 domains participating in the JAK/STAT pathway.
I was born in Rome and I obtained my bachelor and master degrees in Computer Engineering at the University of Rome (Tor Vergata). I obtained the Ph.D. in Information and Communication Technologies at the University of Trento (Italy) on the 16th of December 2010.
My research interests have mainly focused on investigating machine learning techniques for solving protein bioinformatics problems.
I also worked on algorithms for improving a genome assembly exploiting next generation sequencing data at the Foundation Edmund Mach (FEM-IASMA) Research Center and I was involved in the Aurora Science Project.
