Research fellow at the Department of Industrial Engineering (DIN). His research activity in acoustics focuses on environmental and architectural acoustics, design of metamaterials, and applications of machine learning on sound level meter measurements.
He obtained a Ph.D. in Mechanics and Advanced Engineering Sciences from the University of Bologna between 2019 and 2023, with a research project titled “Advanced statistical models for the segregation, identification and measurement of coexisting sound sources”. During his Ph.D., in 2022, he was a visiting student at the Department of Marine Physical Laboratory, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of California San Diego, where he focused on machine and deep learning techniques applied to sound level meter measurements. Previously, in 2018, he obtained a Master of Science in Building Engineering – Architecture with honors from the University of Bologna, with a thesis in Applied Acoustics and Lighting Design titled: “Three case studies of enhancing speech intelligibility in university lecture halls”.
He is currently involved in the European project LIFE-SILENT for the study of the standardization of the measurement method for low-height noise barriers for railway applications and on the design of broadband metamaterials for these barriers. Since 2023, he has been an academic tutor for the course Building Physics and Energy Efficient Building Design of the degree course in Building Construction Engineering, at the Ravenna campus.
His scientific activity is documented by publications in international and national scientific journals. His work mainly concerns the design of acoustic metamaterials in real-world contexts, the application of statistical models and machine learning techniques for the separation, identification, and measurement of coexisting sound sources, the analysis of noise in various environments (offices, classrooms, hospitals), and the effectiveness of acoustic treatments.
He has presented several papers and participated as a speaker at national and international conferences. He has also held the role of co-chair in sessions dedicated to artificial intelligence and architectural acoustics at industry conferences.
He has received several awards and grants for participation in international and national conferences, including the ICA Young Scientist Conference grant in 2025 and the Premio Sacerdote for the best doctoral thesis in 2024.
