I am a currently an ICoN Postdoctoral Fellow at MIT working with Guangyu Robert Yang using AI to model the brain. I have a strong background in physics and math, and a profound passion for AI, especially in the areas of language and memory.
Previously, I finished my Ph.D. at the Weizmann Institute of Science under supervision of Misha Tsodyks. During my Ph.D. I spent some time at Institute for Advanced Studies and at Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics.
Before that, I obtained my Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Physics at La Sapienza under supervision of Giorgio Parisi and Alessandro Treves (SISSA).
I am deeply committed to AI safety and its responsible advancement. I am particularly interested on the study of mechanistic interpretability and inner alignment in neural networks. I aim to make AI more understandable, believing that this will help us learn and grow faster.
This website doesn't describe my current research, but it's related to things I thought about and would like to share.
