Biography

I am currently a Postdoctoral Researcher at the SaCS lab at EPFL. I completed my PhD in Computer Science at INRIA and École Polytechnique in France, under the supervision of Catuscia Palamidessi. Previously, I have been a Visiting Scholar at the School of Computing at Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia, collaborating with  Annabelle McIiver and Natasha Fernandes, and at WMG, the University of Warwick in Coventry, England, working with Carsten Maple and Graham Cormode. 

My work primarily involves designing privacy-preserving techniques for analysing data and training models, with a focus on investigating and enhancing the trade-off between privacy and utility from a foundational perspective. In particular, my current research interests hover around Differential Privacy, Federated Learning, Decentralised Learning, and, in general, Privacy-Preserving Machine Learning. Occasionally, I also get fascinated by (and end up working on) Location Privacy.
