I'm currently an AI Engineer at IQVIA, where I work on information extraction from unstructured and structured medical records and scientific papers.

Before joining IQVIA, I was a post-doc researcher at the department of Communication and Economics at Università di Modena e Reggio Emilia.

I received my PhD in Linguistics at the University of Pennsylvania. My dissertation can be found here.

My research interests are: Computational models of Language Change and Language Acquisition, Sentiment Analysis and Low-resource Language Identification using Deep Learning.
