Bio
I am a Tenure-track Assistant Professor (equivalent to RTT in Italy) at University of Bergamo, Italy,
in the Department of Management, Information and Production Engineering
(DIGIP),
where I also lead the Lab for Artificial Visual Intelligence (LAVI). My research lies at the intersection of machine learning, computer vision,
and natural language processing. My main research focus is improving the trustworthiness of deep learning models, with a particular emphasis on vision-language generative models for computer vision problems, under the broader vision of the Lab for Artificial Visual Intelligence.
Previously, I was a Lecturer at the University of Aberdeen, UK, and held postdoctoral research positions at Telecom Paris, France and the University of Trento, Italy.
I received my Ph.D. in Information and Communication Technology from University of Trento, Italy in 2022, where I was supervised by Prof. Elisa Ricci and Prof. Nicu Sebe. Before that
I received a Masters in Telecommunication Engineering from University of Trento, Italy in 2018 and a Bachelor in Electrical Engineering from West Bengal University of Technology, India in 2013.
