I am a Master's student currently visiting MIT LIDS, advised by Navid Azizan. I am in the final semester of my Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering and Data Science at EPFL, where I worked with Caglar Gulcehre, Mathieu Salzmann, and Jürg Schiffmann. I did my Bachelor's degree in Aerospace Engineering at Politecnico di Milano.

My current interests are in test-time guidance and fine-tuning of diffusion and flow matching models, stochastic optimal control, and applications to robotic planning and safe control.

Research updates coming soon.
Current focus: safe diffusion-based planning, reliable machine learning, and stochastic optimal control for robotics.

I am simplifying this page while I refresh the full research section. A curated list of publications and projects will be added here soon.
