I work as a Senior Applied Scientist at Amazon. I spend most of my time working on causal inference and experimental design for large-scale online systems. In particular, I am interested in settings where data is noisy and where interference is at play, like in online marketplaces. I am also exploring how agentic AI frameworks can integrate into online experimentation pipelines to accelerate and improve decision-making.
Previously, I obtained my PhD in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from MIT in 2021, working in CSAIL under the supervision of Tamara Broderick, working on Bayesian nonparametric methods for prediction and experimental design in the context of genomics studies. Before joining MIT, I was an Allievo student at the Collegio Carlo Alberto and at the University of Torino. Here you can find a copy of my CV.
