I am an Assistant Professor (RTD-A) in Computer Engineering at Sapienza Università di Roma, and member of A.W.A.RE research group. My research interests include Visual Analytics and InfoVis, mainly applied to the eXpainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) methods, to the cybersecurity domain, and medical domain.
