About Me
🎓 Education
📘 Master's Degree
I studied at the University of Rome "Tor Vergata" from 2019 to 2021, where I pursued a Master's Degree in Computer Science with a specialization in Artificial Intelligence. My thesis was titled "Evaluation of Explainability of Machine Learning Models: ERO-MD Explainable Model for Migraine Diagnosis" and was supervised by Prof. Fabio Massimo Zanzotto. I graduated with honors, receiving a final grade of 110 cum laude 🎉.
My research focused on the development of an explainable machine learning model for migraine diagnosis 🧠💡. The model, named ERO-MD, was evaluated on a real-world dataset of migraine patients and demonstrated promising results in terms of accuracy and explainability. This work contributed to increasing transparency in AI-driven healthcare solutions.
📗 Bachelor's Degree
I completed my Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science at the University of Mac Lane and Knights from 2016 to 2019. During my undergraduate studies, I developed a keen interest in artificial intelligence and machine learning 🤖, which led me to pursue a career in this field.
My thesis focused on the automation of semantic annotations and the population of ontologies, specifically in the context of resolutions of the United Nations 🌍. I worked under the supervision of Prof. Armando Stellato and successfully defended my thesis, receiving positive feedback from the examination committee 🙌.
