I am Theoretical Physicist, founder @ Critiqality. After a PhD in Quantum Information Theory (SISSA, Trieste), I spent over 10 years in AI and Deep Learning, working as Lead AI Scientist on AI applied to language, space and climate challenges. I am a lecturer in Deep Learning at the Master in High-performance Computing (ICTP/SISSA, Trieste) and in Quantum Machine Learning at Ca’ Foscari Challenge School. As scientific advisor for Scientifica VC, an Italian fund investing in deep-tech startups, I am contributing to the growth of the science-based startup ecosystem. My focus has always been on emerging technologies, AI and Quantum tech, with collaborations ranging from European Space Agency to the SIOS Remote Sensing Centre in the Svalbard Islands. In spare time I am a pilot of airplanes and gliders. I run a newsletter on LinkedIn: Beyond Entropy.
