I’m a PostDoc at the Department of Computer Science at the University of Milano-Bicocca (DISCo) since March 2022. Previously, I did a postdoc at Institut Pasteur under the supervision of Dr. Rayan Chikhi. My main interest involve sequence analysis, data structures, and combinatorial problems on strings and graphs.
My research focuses on developing heuristics and tools for the analysis of WGS data.
