I’m a fourth-year PhD student at Università della Svizzera italiana (USI) in Lugano, Switzerland, in the People-Centered Computing Lab led by Professor Marc Langheinrich and Professor Silvia Santini.

I work on LLM Agent alignment, Agent Safety, LLM security/privacy, Trustworthy ML, Federated Learning, and wearables. I also developed a wide range of interests in ubiquitous computing, with a general focus on healthcare. Before joining USI, I worked on wearable devices for cardiac care at UC San Diego.
