<p class="lead">
<p>Recently, I'm delving into the AI safety alignment problem and I regularly spend time into creative
theoretical thinking while get in touch with the state of art on this field.</p>
<p>Outside of my academic pursuits, I'm an avid consumer of didattic videos: it's my way to get into most of the
fields of the human knowledge and build a personal comphensive understanding of the world.</p>
<p>When I'm not delving into coding and papers, you'll likely find me having deep good talks with friends.
Sports also play a significant role in my life: they are a nice way to spend thoughless time with friends
while preserving my physical health.</p>

<div class="col-lg-4 order-3 order-lg-2">
<p>Board and card games are a passion of mine—they're a fantastic blend of entertainment and mental
stimulation, providing an opportunity to strategize and having good time.</p>
<p>Reading is finding is way to become an integral part of my routine. Recently, I've been exploring Nassim
Nicholas Taleb's "Antifragile," which challenges conventional thinking in a captivating
manner, and Benjamin Todd's "80000 Hours," which has been instrumental in shaping my career aspirations
toward meaningful impact.</p>
<p>Movies are another avenue where I find inspiration and entertainment. They serve as a window into
different cultures and ideas, sparking my imagination and creativity.</p>

Mathematics allowed me to develop a sharp and effective method, enhancing my analytical and critical skills which I successfully integreted in my day-to-day thinking. It's intellectually challenging and I love it.
For me is the fundamental tool for the problem solving ability and it's a great way to train your mind to think in a structured way, guiding my creativity.

<p class="card-text">Cryptographic protocols play a fundamental role in securing modern digital infrastructure, but they are often deployed without prior formal verification. This could lead to the adoption of distributed systems vulnerable to attack vectors. Formal verification methods, on the other hand, require complex and time-consuming techniques that lack automatization. In this paper, we introduce a benchmark to assess the ability of Large Language Models (LLMs) to autonomously identify vulnerabilities in new cryptographic protocols through interaction with Tamarin: a theorem prover for protocol verification. We created a manually validated dataset of novel, flawed, communication protocols and designed a method to automatically verify the vulnerabilities found by the AI agents. Our results about the performances of the current frontier models on the benchmark provides insights about the possibility of cybersecurity applications by integrating LLMs with symbolic reasoning systems.</p>

<h4 class="card-title">CryptoFormalEval
</h4>
<p class="card-text">
We introduce a benchmark for testing how well LLMs can find vulnerabilities in cryptographic protocols. By combining LLMs with symbolic reasoning tools like Tamarin, we aim to improve the efficiency and thoroughness of protocol analysis, paving the way for future AI-powered cybersecurity defenses.</p>

<h4 class="card-title">Linearization of CNN layer</h4>
<p class="card-text">In this work I've built a custom loss function to penalize non-linearities through the convolutional layers (Pytorch package). I got a pretty interesting outcome: the ReLU activation function arises naturally in a parametrized family of functions. </p>
