About Me

I’m an M.Sc. student in Applied Psychology at the University of Trieste, working at the intersection of statistical genomics, machine learning, and psychology to understand the biological mechanisms underlying complex traits.

My long-term goal is to bridge clinical and psychological knowledge with quantitative genomic models - using polygenic models, omics data and longitudinal approaches to better understand individual differences in behaviour and mental health. I’m also increasingly focused on Bayesian modelling and machine learning methods for health data, applying them alongside more traditional statistical genomics approaches.

I love meeting people from different backgrounds - I believe the best insights often emerge when different fields come together to approach the same question from multiple perspectives.

Outside academia, I enjoy spending time in nature, particularly hiking and exploring mountain environments. And yes, the moustache? It started as a bet, but somehow it has become part of my identity. So, if you ever see a moustache climbing up a mountain, do not hesitate to say hello - it is probably me!
