I am a Computer Science Researcher - Assistant Professor (non-tenure-track) at the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science of the University of Cagliari (Italy), where I earned my BSc, MSc and PhD.
My research interests are in Computer Graphics and Geometry Processing, focusing on Surface and Volumetric mesh generation and optimization, and Digital Fabrication.
I am also the Professor of "Data Visualization" (Applied Computer Science and Data Analytics BS.c) and "Web Programming" (Computer Science BS.c) courses at the University of Cagliari.
