Academic Achievements
- Published at top-tier computer vision conferences such as CVPR (Highlight Poster) and ICCV, and received Best Paper Awards at both CBMI and IEEE-CH. Participated in several research projects, including 'ReCoptic: Computer Vision for the Reconstruction of Dismembered Coptic Codices' which received the Best Paper Award at IEEE CH 2025, and 'Talking to DINO: Bridging Self-Supervised Vision Backbones with Language for Open-Vocabulary Segmentation' presented at ICCV 2025.
Research Experience
- Works as an Associate Researcher at the Institute of Information Science and Technologies (ISTI) of the National Research Council (CNR) in Pisa, Italy. From May to August 2025, he worked as a Research Intern at Disney Research | Studios in Zürich, working on the design and end-to-end training of large-scale diffusion models, supervised by Dr. Vinicius C. Azevedo.
Education
- Pursuing a Ph.D. in Vision-Language Artificial Intelligence at the University of Pisa, supervised by Dr. Fabrizio Falchi, Dr. Fabio Carrara, Dr. Nicola Messina, and Dr. Giuseppe Amato.
Background
- A passionate computer engineer currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Vision-Language Artificial Intelligence at the University of Pisa. His research interests lie in the field of Vision-Language Models (VLMs), focusing on understanding, analyzing, and enhancing the representations learned by foundational models such as CLIP and DINO for image–text understanding. He has explored a wide range of applications including image–text matching, retrieval, open-vocabulary object detection, semantic segmentation, image captioning, and text-conditioned image generation. He is particularly fascinated by approaches that minimize or eliminate human supervision (unsupervised and weakly-supervised learning).
Miscellany
- Outside of research, he enjoys video games, TV series, and films. He is also very passionate about sports, skiing in the winter, playing beach volleyball in the summer, and tennis all year round. His hometown is Collodi, the birthplace of Pinocchio.
