About
Hi, I’m Michele. I’m a PhD candidate at FAU Erlangen-Nuremberg, and I work on AI safety which we can summarize in two modalities. 1) Try to understand when a data sample (from real-world scenario or model output) is never seen and potentially leading to failure and therefore to high costs (in literature is called distribution shift detection) or 2) certify reliable prediction from deep learning models using uncertainty estimation. I am currently collaborating with Mercedes and with Nokia for those topics. Thanks for stopping by, and feel free to say hi on LinkedIn , Github , or by email .
EXPERIENCE
Thesis Erasmus
Six month Erasmus for my Master Thesis in DTU (Denmark Technical University) supervised by Ole Winther
Co-Founded startup at Cohenagen, Denmark
Founded Prediba, a start-up that deliver predictive maintenance to manifacturing companies interested in imporove its efficiency via AI and digitalization
Mentoring at Poste Italiane, Alfamotion
Held Machine Learning courses starting from pre-requirements, to Machine Learning and Deep Learning topics
Developed Official App SIS2017
SIS is an annual italian statistic conference held in 2017 at Florence. The app guides the user to the talks, events and the building. Since performances weren’t critical, the application was developed like a website to code-once and deploy everywhere
