Algorithmic problems for the web economy 

2026–2027: 12 months

I received my Ph.D. in computer science from Sapienza University of Rome. My research lies at the intersection of algorithms, machine learning, and economics, with a focus on developing rigorous theoretical frameworks to understand and optimize modern web platforms. In particular, my work focuses on online algorithms, especially stochastic variants of online matching, as well as learning algorithms for discrete choice models, including Random Utility Models and Multinomial Logit/Plackett–Luce models. 

Beyond research, I have contributed to the academic community as a reviewer for leading conferences in theoretical computer science and artificial intelligence, including ACM-SIAM Symposium on Discrete Algorithms (2025, 2026), Innovations in Theoretical Computer Science conference (2025), International Conference on Machine Learning (2026), and AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence (2026).
