Hi there!đź‘‹
About🤌Â
I am Gianluigi, a PhD student in Applied Mathematics at UniversitĂ© CĂ´te d'Azur, where I am part of the J. A. DieudonnĂ© laboratory and Maasai, an Inria project-team, located in Sophia Antipolis. I am currently working on the interpretability of machine learning models and algorithms, both by analyzing their theoretical foundations and by proposing new solutions, under the supervision of Damien Garreau and FrĂ©dĂ©ric Precioso. Previously, I got an MSc in Mathematical Engineering and a BSc in Applied Mathematics, both from Politecnico di Torino.Â
