I obtained my PhD in July 2011 in Applied Mathematics at INRIA Sud-Ouest, Bordeaux with a thesis with title:
Stochastic models and methods for multi-object tracking.
My supervisors were:




I obtained my MSc degree in Computer Science Engineering at the University of Bologna, Italy, in October 2005. The subject of my master thesis was "Software architecture of a modern 3D engine". During my master degree I worked for Advanced Research Center on Electronic Systems (ARCES).
In 2006 I worked as computer programmer for the game company Silent Bay Studios (Genova, Italy) .
From February 2007 to August 2008 I worked for INFN (National Institute of Nuclear Physics) in Bologna (Italy) on the OMII-Europe Project for Grid Computing Interoperability and on ETICS 2 Project in collaboration with CERN.
In July 2011 I completed my Phd in Applied Mathematics University of Bordeaux1.
I'm currently a Post-doc researcher at IRIDIA - Institut de Recherches Interdisciplinaires et de Developpements en Intelligence Artificielle, University of Bruxelles (Universite Libre de Bruxelles).
