About

I am a Ph.D. student focused on Trustworthy Deep Learning, with a particular emphasis on probabilistic methods and explainability, and their scalability to large language models. For more information—including publications, news, projects, and my CV—please visit my personal website. If you are interested in research collaboration or master thesis supervision, feel free to contact me (my email address is available on the website).
