I received my academic education at the University of Catania, where I achieved my PhD degree in 2023. Since January 2024, I'm an Assistant Professor at the Department of Electrical, Electronic, and Computer Engineering at the same institution. I am a member of the PeRCeiVe Lab research group, where I started my research activities in the areas of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and computer vision, with a particular focus on medical image analysis, federated learning, and explainable AI. My current research interests include developing AI-driven solutions for medical imaging, integrating federated learning frameworks for privacy-preserving data analysis, and applying explainable AI techniques to enhance transparency in machine learning models
