Biography
I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Engineering from Sapienza University in Rome and a Master’s degree in Physics from Sorbonne University in Paris. In the autumn of 2025, I began my PhD at the ETIS lab.
My research investigates how the brain stores and recalls memories, and how these processes are shaped by emotions. To do this, I use large-scale spiking neural networks which are computational models inspired by the way real neurons communicate in the brain.
