Bio
As of February 2023, I joined Max Planck Institute for Security and Privacy as a postdoc!I am a third year PhD student, holding cum laude MSc in Control Engineering and BSc in Information Engineering.
The aim of my research is understanding what it means for decisions and algorithms to be equitable, with a focus on ranking applications. under the supervision of Gianmaria Silvello and Gian Antonio Susto. I recently visited Asia Biega at MPI-SP.
The impact of technology on society (and vice versa) is deeply interesting to me. When designing an algorithm, I try to think of all stakeholders and be careful what I optimize for.
Previously I spent four years working with IBM and Electrolux. Colleagues were great, industry was interesting, salary was higher!
