👋 Welcome! 

I am an Assistant Professor (tenure-track) at the Department of Computer Science, University of Bari Aldo Moro, where I specialize in machine learning, deep learning, and computer vision, with applications in fields like e-health, drone vision, and digital humanities. During the workday, if you don't spot me with my legs stretched out in my office on the sixth floor, I'm probably down in the CILAB lab on the fourth floor, where the real magic happens—or possibly in Professor Giovanna Castellano's office, stealing her taralli (a classic Italian snack) and handing them out to anyone who crosses my path!

I hold a Ph.D. in Computer Science and Mathematics and am passionate about advancing research. I lead and contribute to various projects, including a recently concluded European initiative on computational methods for cultural heritage. My academic involvement extends to serving as an Editorial Board member of the International Journal of Intelligent Systems and actively organizing scientific events. My role also involves mentoring Ph.D. students, reviewing for top-tier venues, and serving on program committees for several conferences. I'm also a member of IEEE and other scientific communities.
