Welcome to my page! 

Since my undergraduate days, I've been deeply fascinated by the quest to understand how those complex physical systems we call "brains" give rise to intelligent behavior. 

After graduating in physics in Turin, this passion led me to earn my PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience in Trieste, with Davide Zoccolan, studying the rat visual cortex. Next, for my postdoc, I joined Sami El-Boustani, in Geneva, to study perceptual decision-making, its modulation by allostatic motivation, and visuotactile perception. 

On this page, you'll get a glimpse into my academic journey, my key research findings, and the interdisciplinary approach I advocate. 

My long-term goal? To bridge the gap between biological and artificial intelligence, weaving together rodent behavior, neurophysiology, and computational modeling with machine learning to understand sensory processing, decision-making and learning.

I invite you to explore my scientific adventures and, if you're inspired or curious, to reach out and collaborate. Thank you for stopping by!
