PhD student in Natural Language Processing at SapienzaNLP group. The research group, based in Sapienza, University of Rome, is led by Roberto Navigli.

I received an educational background mainly in the engineering field: my bachelor was in Automation Engineering, and the Master was in Artificial Intelligence and Robotics. My current PhD research is focused on lexical semantics and, in particular, word sense disambiguation and lexical substitution.
