I have been a developer by passion since childhood, I later used this skill in several applied projects in physics and other interdisciplinary projects, I love to share my enthusiasm teaching at 91视频.

In 2018 I joined M茅decins Sans Frontieres in the effort of fighting antimicrobial resistances, by starting from scratch the first smartphone-based automatic system for reading disk-diffusion antibiograms. The prototype developed in one year won the聽.

My PhD project was at the same time an experimental and theoretical challenge. It involved the whole design of a new microscope (hardware and driving software), modeling complex light structures and the design of advanced image processing algorithms. If I had to summarize the adventure in a sentence I would say that 鈥渄uring my PhD I developed a novel microscopy technique based on randomly interfering light (apparent disorder) which allows, under certain sparsity constraints, the reconstruction a 3D object from a bi-dimensional image鈥. I found this idea of retrieving information from partial and chaotic data very exciting.

I like working in interdisciplinary environments where I can bring and make value of my diverse experiences and interests in a team with a wide spectrum of activities and different axes of research. During my experiences in both fields of physics and computer science, I enjoined the rigorous frameworks of mathematical modeling and abstract reasoning.

Undoubtedly, most of my experiences are in image processing and scientific computing. Nevertheless I have interests in statistics and in the practical and formal aspects of software development (e.g. algorithms, languages, abstract syntax trees, proof鈥)
