I graduated with honours (cum laude) in Mathematics at the University of Salento and I am now a mathematician and researcher based in Rome, pursuing a PhD on associative neural networks and their applications to learning and biological data. My work sits at the interface between statistical physics, machine learning and computational neuroscience, with a focus on models of memory and collective phenomena. I am especially interested in how distributed systems store, retrieve and transform information. I study models where many simple units, when connected in the right way, can support each other’s computations: classical and modern associative networks, multi-layer architectures in which different modules communicate, and abstract “memory fields” that can be analysed using mathematical and statistical–physical tools.
