About Me

I’m a researcher in Theoretical and Computational Biology in the group of Gašper Tkačik at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA). I obtained my PhD with Ivan Erill at UMBC (Baltimore, US). Previously I studied biology (and some mathematics) at the University of Milan (Italy). I’m a math enthusiast and an amateur jazz piano player.

Research Interest

I use information theory to study molecular evolution. My research focuses on the evolution of information in DNA sequences that code for transcriptional regulatory networks.

Living things are too beautiful for there not to be a mathematics that describes them.
