2023.12 - Present Trento, Italy
Machine Learning Engineer - Researcher
Fondazione Bruno Kessler (FBK)
FBK is a leading Italian research institute focused on science and technology innovation, with a strong emphasis on AI, data science, and their real-world applications across sectors including agriculture, health, and industry.
- Designed, tested, and deployed a Decision Support System for water management, integrating heterogeneous data sources, including IoT sensors and weather data, reducing operational costs by around 50% across several companies.
- Operationalized research prototypes through reproducible ML pipelines and APIs using Python, FastAPI, MLflow, and GitLab, supporting experimentation and production deployment in collaboration with domain experts.
- Developed a PPO-based Deep Reinforcement Learning agent in a digital-twin environment combining surrogate and physics-based models for simulation and policy training.
- Developed WeatherSynth, a modular Python library for composing and benchmarking reproducible synthetic weather-generation pipelines with interchangeable generators, climate conditioners, physical constraints, and diagnostics.
- Developed a multi-agent LLM/RAG assistant using LangChain and LangGraph, integrating technical and regulatory knowledge for real-time agricultural decision support with global and region-specific recommendations.
- Built and evaluated ARIMA, XGBoost, and LSTM models for sensor time-series forecasting, achieving low prediction error through feature engineering, hyperparameter tuning, and rigorous validation.
- Developed and benchmarked a Wasserstein-based drift detector for online regression monitoring, comparing it with established methods and evaluating its applicability to sensor forecasting.
- Evaluated IoT soil-sensor behavior and anomaly-detection methods in collaboration with industry and academic partners to assess sensor quality, reliability, and suitability for practical field use.
