I am a PhD student in Statistics at the University of Oxford. I have mostly worked on Bayesian inference for likelihood-free models, exploiting deep learning tools and generalized Bayesian inference. More recently, I have become interested in probabilistic forecasting, specifically for the field of weather prediction. My supervisors are Dr. Ritabrata Dutta (Uni. Warwick) and Prof. Geoff Nicholls (Uni. Oxford).
Prior to my PhD studies, I obtained a Bachelor degree in Physical Engineering from Politecnico di Torino (Italy). Afterwards, I studied towards an MSc in Physics of Complex Systems awarded by Politecnico di Torino and Université Paris-Sud, France. I have carried out my MSc thesis at LightOn, a machine learning startup in Paris.
