I am an Associate Professor (with tenure) in the Department of Data Sciences and Operations at the USC Marshall School of Business, with a courtesy appointment in Computer Science at the Viterbi School of Engineering.

Before joining USC, I earned a Ph.D. in Statistics at Stanford University in 2020, advised by Emmanuel Candès. I am originally from Italy, where I studied at Politecnico di Torino and Collegio Carlo Alberto.

Research Interests

I develop statistical methods for analyzing complex, high-dimensional data using modern machine learning models. I am particularly interested in distribution-free and model-agnostic approaches that can produce precise statistical inferences under defensible assumptions. I sometimes also work as a consultant and expert collaborator in both academic and industry settings, helping to design reproducible data analyses, quantify uncertainty in complex models, and communicate results clearly to diverse audiences.
