Research Interest

I am a fourth-year Ph.D. student at Politecnico di Milano, in the Department of Chemistry, Materials, and Chemical Engineering Giulio Natta, within the CRECK modeling laboratory, advised by Alessandro Stagni. My research focuses on the application of data-driven methods to develop chemical kinetic models for predicting the combustion and pyrolysis of complex fuels. In addition, my work includes the development of optimization routines and reduction strategies for the computational cost associated with chemical kinetic models. I enjoy writing code, mostly in C/C++, more recently in Julia and Fortran. As you can see, my interests are terribly broad, I admit my exuberance, and I do nothing to limit it. I am fortunate to be able to explore diverse and interesting questions while holding down a paying job.
