About Me
I am a third-year PhD student in Machine Learning at UCL , London. I work under the supervision of Massimiliano Pontil and Carlo Ciliberto.
Research Interests
My main research interest focuses on the interplay of optimal transport and machine learning. I enjoy optimal transport theory and I find its applications in applied sciences very interesting. On a minor side, I also work a bit on structured prediction and surrogate frameworks.
