Center for Brain Minds and Machines

I am a research associate in the the LCSL, a joint lab between MIT and the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia, leaded by Lorenzo Rosasco. I am also part of Tomaso Poggio lab at MIT and part of the Center for Brains, Minds, and Machines.

The investigation of learning as a computational process plays a fundamental role in machine learning and computational neuroscience where it is arguably considered to be the key for understanding intelligence. My current research focuses on computational aspects of learning in particular sample-efficient representation learning and deep learning. I have been also looking into the connections to biologically grounded networks and analogies to how humans learn to recognize objects.
Below some of my publications, see also my resume.
