About Me

I am currently completing my PhD in Digital Humanities at the University of Florence, where I also hold a Research Fellowship. My current work contributes to an Environmental Humanities project that explores the human aesthetic relationship with nature through both qualitative and quantitative analysis. I am also a member of the research group Lablita (Laboratorio di linguistica italiana), led by Alessandro Panunzi. Alongside my academic research, I work as an AI Expert at FairyMinds.

Research Interests

• Computational pragmatics and semantics: how Large Language Models (LLMs) detect and use pragmatic features such as irony and implicit content, and how they retrieve relevant lexical and contextual information.
• Automatic generation and simplification of technical language: tools and models designed to improve the clarity and accessibility of professional, bureaucratic, and legal texts.
• Cognition and philosophy of semantics: theoretical and empirical investigations into how speakers acquire, represent, and adapt meaning in context, and how this relates to cognitive and philosophical models of language use.
