Bio
I am a researcher in Applied Mathematics and AI for healthcare by training. I hold degrees from Politecnico di Milano, Italy (BSc) and EPFL, Switzerland (MSc and PhD), and have conducted research at the Stanford School of Medicine during my PhD and as a Postdoc. Before founding Nucleo, I was part of Apple Health AI, where I worked on physics-informed machine learning. I've published papers on computational methods, cardiovascular system modeling, and AI for medical images and optical sensors.
