🧑🏻🎓 I'm a PhD student enrolled in the Italian National Program in Artificial Intelligence, jointly affiliated with Università Campus Bio-Medico di Roma (UCBM) and Umeå University (Department of Diagnostics and Intervention), supervised by Prof. Paolo Soda. My work sits within the DIGILUNG project — an AI-boosted digital twin for personalised lung cancer care.
🔬 My research focuses on trustworthy multimodal medical AI: survival prediction, radiology report generation, medical image synthesis, cross-modal retrieval, and the evaluation of vision–language models (shortcut learning, hallucination, robustness).
🌏 I spent research visiting periods at Shenzhen University and Umeå University (2025), and I presented our paper MDMT at MICCAI 2024.
