Projects and Collaborations

I collaborate with academic, public-sector, and industry partners to translate research on recommender systems, knowledge graphs + LLMs, fairness, and explainability into prototypes, evaluations, and deployable methods.
If you are looking for an academic partner (EU/Italian calls) or a short commissioned pilot, feel free to get in touch.
