Profile

He is an archaeologist specialising in quantitative methods and protohistoric Italian archaeology. He completed both his Bachelor’s degree (2017) and Master’s degree (2019) at Sapienza University of Rome, and in 2020 began a fully funded PhD at the University of Bari Aldo Moro. His research experience includes a visiting researcher position at the Österreichisches Archäologisches Institut in Vienna (March–June 2022), an associate researcher role at the CNR – Istituto di Scienze del Patrimonio Culturale (April 2022–September 2023), and a postdoctoral fellowship at Sapienza University of Rome (2023–2024), where he contributed to the PRIN 2020 project “HERDS. Animal Husbandry and its Economic Role in the Development of Central Mediterranean Protohistoric Societies.” He is currently a postdoctoral research fellow at Sapienza within the Proto PArCo Project, working on the quantitative analysis of Iron Age pottery from the Palatine Hill and on 3D reconstruction.

He integrates traditional archaeological approaches with advanced computational techniques, including quantitative analysis, computer science tools, and statistical programming. His technical expertise spans machine learning and deep learning for material classification, territorial analysis, database management, topic modelling, and the dissemination of research through dynamic web documentation. He has also developed strong skills in 3D modelling and rendering for the reconstruction and visualisation of archaeological contexts.
