About me
I am currently a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Milan, Italy. I work among the LAILA team led by professor Nicolò Cesa-Bianchi.
My recent research interests revolve around multitask online learning and bandit algorithms, with applications to federated learning.
I am also currently co-supervising two PhD students:
Giulia Clerici, working on nonstationary bandits for music recommendation (co-supervised with N. Cesa-Bianchi)
Tamim El Ahmad, working on sketching algorithms to scale-up operator-valued kernel machines (co-supervised with F. d'Alché-Buc)
Prior to this, I obtained my PhD from Télécom Paris, under the supervision of professors Florence d'Alché-Buc and Stephan Clémençon.
You can find more about my background on my LinkedIn or in my resume.
