I am a Research Associate at the Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Intelligence at the University of Cambridge, where I work on predictability and cognitive-oriented evaluation of AI systems, together with Prof José Hernández-Orallo and Dr Lucy Cheke.
I previously worked on detecting lying in large language models with Dr Owain Evans and on technical standards for AI for the EU AI Act at the Future of Life Institute. I am deeply interested in AI policy (particularly at the EU level).
I obtained a PhD in Statistics and Machine Learning at Oxford, during which I worked on Bayesian simulation-based inference, generative models and probabilistic forecasting (with applications to meteorology). My supervisors were Prof. Ritabrata Dutta (Uni. Warwick) and Prof. Geoff Nicholls (Uni. Oxford).
Before my PhD studies, I obtained a Bachelor's degree in Physical Engineering from Politecnico di Torino (Italy) and an MSc in Physics of Complex Systems from Politecnico di Torino and Université Paris-Sud, France. I carried out my MSc thesis at LightOn, a machine learning startup in Paris.
