I am from Rome, where I studied at the University "La Sapienza", advised by Pierluigi Crescenzi. Before coming to Berkeley, I was a post-doc at MIT (with theTheory of Computing Group) and at DIMACS and then an assistant professor at Columbia University.
I am interested in Theoretical Computer Science.
Office hours: by appointment only during the Summer. I will spend most
of the Fall in Princeton.
