About in brief

I am a physicist and data scientist with more than twenty years of experience in data analysis for the Virgo gravitational-wave experiment. My work focuses on extracting weak astrophysical signals from complex detector data, with particular attention to noise analysis, system identification, and machine learning techniques for detector characterization and signal detection.
