I am a research associate in the Data Integration and Data Preparation (D2IP) group, where I work with Prof. Ziawasch Abedjan. I completed my PhD program in 2024 at the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia (Italy), with Prof. Sonia Bergamaschi and Prof. Giovanni Simonini as advisors. During my PhD, I also spent two visiting periods at the Hasso Plattner Institute (HPI) in Potsdam (Germany), under the supervision of Prof. Felix Naumann. My research is mainly focused on data integration, with a special interest in entity resolution, data preparation, and dataset discovery.
