Bio

Ex-quant, physics champion and VC, I want to share my passion for science. I grew up between Italy, Switzerland, South Korea and France. I started coding and tinkering with physics very early and won the International Physicists' Tournament in 2022. I've also briefly headed the nascent early-stage investing at Squarepoint Capital, a leading quantitative hedge fund.
