About Me
CS PhD Candidate @ Sapienza
AI Scientist @ Outsampler
I am a PhD candidate in Computer Science at Sapienza University of Rome specializing in artificial intelligence for financial systems. My research focuses on causal modeling and generative approaches for financial time series, combining rigorous mathematical formulations with modern deep learning techniques.
Alongside my academic work, I serve as an AI Scientist at Outsampler, where I design and deploy language-model-driven solutions for fraud detection and automated financial report generation. My work includes building conversational AI for time-series analytics and translating natural language queries into structured financial data insights.
My broader experience spans causal discovery, generative modeling, time-series shock detection, distributed AI optimization, and NLP systems, with applications ranging from financial markets to networked systems.

Projects
PLaCy
Robust causal discovery method for stochastic time series leveraging power-law spectral features. Exploits the inherent power-law distribution in real-world time series frequency spectra to amplify genuine causal signals and reduce noise sensitivity, outperforming state-of-the-art alternatives on synthetic and real-world datasets.
LOBCAST
Open-source Python framework for Stock Price Trend Prediction (SPTP) standardization, implementing data preprocessing, deep learning model training, evaluation, and profit analysis. Benchmarks fifteen state-of-the-art deep learning models on Limit Order Book data, examining robustness and generalizability.
CoMeTS-GAN
Correlated Multivariate Time Series generative framework based on Conditional Generative Adversarial Networks (C-GANs) designed to generate price and volume time series of correlated stocks. Accurately learns and reproduces stylised facts and inter-asset correlations, crucial for achieving realism in multi-stock simulation environments.
Stock Shocks Modelling and Forecasting
Formal definition of stock shocks based on fat-tailed Lévy-stable distributions. Implemented forecasting algorithms using Limit Order-Book data with machine learning approaches (random forest, hierarchical clustering) achieving high precision and recall.
eTreeum
eTreeum was created to help raise awareness on the environmental impact of blockchain technologies. Ideally, users of this app will help plant trees in the real world by playing with crypto-trees. Users are able to start with a free seed, take care of it and then sell it for cryptocurrencies.
