I am a Ph.D. candidate in the College of Information and Computer Sciences at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, and I am a member of the Database and Information Management Lab. I am co-advised by Prof. Peter J. Haas, Prof. Alexandra Meliou, and Prof. Azza Abouzied (NYU Abu Dhabi). My research interests include data management, information retrieval and natural language processing.

Prior to joining UMass, I received my Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Computer Science from the Computer Science and Engineering Department at the University of Bologna, Italy.

During summer 2017, I interned at Microsoft Research, in the Data Management, Exploration and Mining (DMX) group. During summer 2016, I interned at IBM Watson. During spring 2016, I visited NYU Abu Dhabi, UAE. During summer 2015, I visited the AMPLab at the University of California, Berkeley. During my Master's studies, I visited the Data-Intensive Systems group at Aarhus University, Denmark. During my Bachelor's studies, I interned in the Database Lab at the University of California, Riverside.

Current Projects

  • Package Builder — a system that extends query engines to support package generation.
