I am a master's student in the Theory of Computation group in CSAIL at MIT. My master's thesis advisors are Eran Tromer and Ron Rivest. I am currently working on how to build very efficient arguments that can be used to ensure properties of a distributed computation.
I am very interested in the foundations of computer science, cryptography, and algorithms. Outside of classes and labs, I row for the heavyweight varsity crew team at MIT.
Before, I was an undergraduate at MIT, and double majored in Theoretical Mathematics and Computer Science and Engineering, with a concentration in Chinese.
Before coming to MIT, I lived in Varese, Italy, where I was born in 1987. While in Italy, I attended the European School of Varese from kindergarten to my last year of high school. This school is part of the system of European Schools, which awards students the European Baccalaureate.
I love the mountains, especially the Prealps. When I am at home, I enjoy long runs in the woods and spending time by the many lakes near my house.
