About Me

Currently, I am a PostDoctoral researcher at the University of California, Santa Cruz, member of the AIEA lab led by prof. Leilani Gilpin.

My research focuses on eXplainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) and, specifically, on techniques that aim to explain the behavior of Deep Neural Networks across several domains. Most of my research has been devoted to the investigation of intrinsic methods for deep neural networks (i.e., self-interpretable deep neural networks) and mechanistic interpretability (understanding the knowledge learned by components). I am also interested in neuroscience, neurosymbolic approaches and cognitive science. Image of a black box behavior

Previously, I obtained my PhD in Computer Engineering at Sapienza University of Rome, where I studied intrinsic methods per explaining deep neural networks under the amazing supervision of Prof. Roberto Capobianco. I also got a M. Sc. degree in “Artificial Intelligence and Robotics” and a B. Sc. in “Computer Science” under the supervision of Prof. Roberto Navigli, both from Sapienza University.
