Gran Sasso Science Institute

I graduated cum laude in 2024 with a Master's degree in Computer Science from the University of Salerno, specializing in Software Engineering and IT Management.

I am pursuing a PhD in Computer Science at the Gran Sasso Science Institute (GSSI) in L'Aquila (Italy). My research focuses on Fairness Engineering, Fairness Testing, and Bias Monitoring in Generative AI systems.
