About

I started my research activity on computational fluid dynamics, specifically partial differential equations of turbulence models in hydraulics. Then I switched to computational linguistics, working on language models for automatic speech recognition and on natural language understanding. Finally, I started teaching computer science and data analysis at the Faculty of Economics, carrying on research on computational finance, focusing in particular on data organization and network representations of Italian public companies. I am also involved in projects related to mass customization and cryptocurrencies' technology.

Ho iniziato la mia attività di ricerca in fluidodinamica computazionale, specificatamente sulle equazioni differenziali alle derivate parziali dei modelli di turbolenza in idraulica. Dopodiché sono passato alla linguistica computazionale, lavorando sui modelli del linguaggio per il riconoscimento automatico del parlato e sulla comprensione del linguaggio naturale. Infine, ho iniziato a insegnare informatica e analisi dati alla Facoltà di Economia, intraprendendo ricerca in finanza computazionale, focalizzata in particolare sull'organizzazione dei dati e rappresentazioni del network delle aziende italiane quotate. Sono anche impegnato in progetti legati alla mass customization e alla tecnologia delle criptovalute.

Meine Forschungsaktivität hat ihren Ursprung in der numerischer Fluiddynamik, mit Schwerpunkt auf partielle Differentialgleichungen von Turbulenzmodellen in der Hydraulik. Anschließend setzte ich mich mit Computerlinguistik auseinander und arbeitete an Sprachmodellen zur automatischen Spracherkennung und zum Verstehen natürlicher Sprache. Schließlich begann meine Lehrtätigkeit an der Fakultät für Wirtschaftswissenschaften, wo ich Informatik und Datenanalyse unterrichte und mich Forschungsprojekten auf dem Gebiet der Computational Finance widme. Dabei konzentrierte ich mich insbesondere auf die Datenerfassung und Darstellung bestehender Netzwerke von börsennotierten italienischen Unternehmen. Ich bin auch an Projekten im Bereich Mass Customization und Kryptowährungen beteiligt.
