I am a postdoctoral fellow at Università della Svizzera italiana (USI) and the Chief Operating Officer (COO) of Panua Technologies, a spin off of the university. The focus of my research is centered around algorithms for graph learning and combinatorial optimization for graph clustering and anomaly detection.
I am the principal investigator (PI) of the project Directed acyclic graph partitioning for scheduling tasks, financed by the Huawei Research Center Zürich for 2025. My work is also supported by the joint German Research Foundation (DFG) and Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) project Numerical Algorithms, Frameworks, and Scalable Technologies for Extreme-Scale Computing.
