About me

I am an Ellis PhD student at Polytechnic of Turin, Italy. I am interested in online understanding and domain adaptation in egocentric videos. My supervisor is Professor Barbara Caputo and my Ellis co-supervisor is Professor Dima Damen. I am a member of the Visual And Multimodal Applied Learning Laboratory @ Politecnico di Torino where I work with Giuseppe Averta.

Personal Interests

I am a big fan of outdoor activities as I practice beach volley and love hiking. I also enjoy learning how to play new instruments; I've been playing classical guitar for 5 years and am now learning to play the piano.
