I am a third-year PhD candidate at the University of Bologna (Cycle 39), where I work under the supervision of Prof. Monica Palmirani within the CIRSFID research centre. My research sits at a genuinely unusual intersection: constitutional law, parliamentary procedure, and distributed computing — an area where almost every answer generates three new questions, which suits me fine.
Before the PhD I completed an LLM in Legal Informatics at La Sapienza, Rome (110/110 cum laude), and a five-year law degree at Milano-Bicocca, where I wrote on online hate speech. In between I did an Erasmus semester inside the Arctic Circle at the University of Lapland, which turns out to be an excellent place for thinking carefully and very bad for going outside.
Outside the research, I co-supervise thesis students at Università Milano-Bicocca, have taught computer science at secondary level, and write code in Python — anything from research automation scripts to home-lab infrastructure. I run competitively, think in systems, and am generally suspicious of complexity for its own sake, which is probably why simplification ended up as a research topic.
