About me
I am currently working as a Principal LLM Researcher in Huawei Ireland Research Center, developing LLM solutions for different AiOps applications.
From 2022 until 2025, I was an applied scientist in Amazon AGI, working on the development of RAG capabilities for the Amazon Nova foundation models.
Until 2022, I was a doctoral student in the The AMORE project, Pompeu Fabra University, working at the intersection between Computational Linguistics, Computer Vision and Artificial Intelligence.
In 2017, I graduated from the Erasmus Mundus European Masters Program in Language and Communication Technologies (LCT), at CIMeC, University of Trento and University of Malta, under the supervision of Raffaella Bernardi.
