Ciao, I am Francesco!

I am a first-year PhD student at the Otto-Friedrich University of Bamberg, under the supervision of Professor Christian Ledig. I am currently working on harnessing the power of foundation models for optimal utilization in downstream tasks, with a strong emphasis on efficiency, explainability and, robustness.

Previously, I worked on Bayesian uncertainty on dedicated breast-CT scans at the Advanced X-ray Tomographic Imaging lab, under the supervision of Marco Caballo.

Finally, I also interned at NATO and AIKO, where I worked on anomaly detection on underwater communications and visual odometry on planetary-like environments, respectively.
