I will be on the job market starting 2027. Feel free to reach out!
I am currently interning at Adobe Research, Paris.
I completed my PhD advised by Prof. Mark Pauly in May 2026 at the Geometric Computing Laboratory, EPFL. In the fall, I am rejoining the lab as a postdoctoral researcher.
I am interested in physics-based simulation, optimization, computational design, and digital fabrication.
During my PhD, I was fortunate to work with Prof. Eitan Grinspun (University of Toronto) and Prof. Julian Panetta (UC Davis). I interned at Disney Research | Studios in the Rendering and Simulation group working with Vinicius Da Costa De Azevedo and Jingwei Tang.
I hold a double MSc in Computational Science and Engineering from EPFL and Politecnico di Milano. I received my BSc in Mathematical Engineering at Politecnico di Milano.
