Hello world! I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at University of Southern California.

Previously, I was a Postdoctoral Researcher at ISE Department of Lehigh University, under the supervision of Prof. Ted Ralphs. I hold a Ph.D in Operations Research from University of Rome Sapienza and an M.S. and B.S. in Computer Science from University of L’Aquila.

My research lies at the intersection of theory, methodology, and computation in mixed-integer programming and combinatorial optimization, with particular focus on analyzing complex problems arising from various real-world applications.
