I am an Applied Scientist at Amazon in New York City, working on foundational sequence models in a team led by Gert Lanckriet. I completed my PhD in the Computer Science Department at ETH Zürich, where I was advised by Fanny Yang and was part of the Institute for Machine Learning. During my PhD, I was also a visiting graduate student at Harvard University, hosted by Issa Dahabreh in the CAUSALab, with the support of the Ermenegildo Zegna Founder's Scholarship.
