About Me

I’m a final-year PhD student in Computer Science at the University of Salerno (Italy), supervised by Gennaro Costagliola and Mattia De Rosa. I’m a member of the Computer Languages and User-Experience (CLUE) Lab, where my research focuses on:

• The application of Machine Learning techniques to compilers
• The use of Large Language Models (LLMs) for program translation
• Computer Science Education, with a particular interest in how intelligent systems can support learning and teaching programming

Additionally, I work for the Italian Ministry of Education as a computer science teacher for high school students. Moreover, my background includes Full-Stack Development experience spanning from 2013 to 2022.
