Read the blog post about my thesis: Efficient SAM2

Small updates about my academic, professional, and personal life.

2026

๐Ÿ’ป The code for HEAT is now public, together with the repo of our new project Perseus, a bootstrap planner for faster encrypted transformer inference โ€” 416 bootstraps and 11.78 s per token on encrypted GPT-2. Paper coming soon!
๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ช From the 8th to the 13th of September, I’ll be in Malmรถ, Sweden for ECCV 2026!
๐Ÿ“ฐ HEAT makes nonlinearity approximation iterations learnable, so weights and approximations co-adapt โ€” 3.1ร— fewer iterations, 1.6ร— fewer bootstraps and 1.4ร— faster encrypted GPT-2 inference.
๐ŸŽธ Have you ever wondered who is the most… among your friends! Play and settle it!
๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ท From the 23rd to the 27th of April, I’ll be in Rio de Janeiro to present my paper MASS!
๐ŸŽค I’ll be participating as an invited speaker at Cybersecurity โ€” Una Gara da Vincere 2026, talking about Homomorphic Encryption in Machine Learning Models!
๐Ÿ“ฐ Our Zero-Shot Quantization via Weight-Space Arithmetic shows that PTQ robustness is a transferable direction in weight space, enabling zero-shot quantization robustness transfer across ViT models.
๐Ÿ“ฐ Our paper MASS, MoErging through Adaptive Subspace Selection, has been accepted at ICLR 2026.

๐Ÿ‘จ๐Ÿปโ€๐Ÿ’ป Today is my first day as a PhD student at the GLADIA research group, advised by Prof. Emanuele Rodolร !
๐Ÿฅณ I defended my Master’s thesis titled “Efficient SAM2” at Sapienza University of Rome. With a final grade of 110/110 cum laude, I am now officially a computer scientist!
๐ŸŽค On the 16th of September 2025, I will be presenting my paper MASS at “Breaking the Monolith” workshop at ICIAP 2025!
๐Ÿ“ End of my Erasmus. I’m moving back to Rome ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น to pursue my PhD at Sapienza.
๐ŸŽ“ I defended my Master’s thesis at TUM, Efficient SAM2 (read the blog post๐Ÿคฉ).
๐Ÿฅณ I’ve been accepted as a PhD student in informatics at Sapienza University of Rome! Resulting in the fourth highest score, I was awarded a funded position. I will be advised by professor Emanuele Rodolร .
๐Ÿ“ฐ My first paper MASS, MoErging through Adaptive Subspace Selection is available on arXiv!

2024

๐Ÿ“ My Erasmus is about to start! I will move to Munich ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช, where I will be studying and doing my thesis research at TUM for the entire 2024/2025 academic year.
