Reseacher in Computer Science | Currently on the Job Market ilsarpe [at] kth.se

I am a researcher in Computer Science. I recently completed a postoc mentored by Prof. Aristides Gionis. I got my Ph.D. in Computer Engineering at the Department of Information Engineering of the university of Padova under the supervision of Prof. Fabio Vandin. I am also a member of VandinLab and AIDA Lab!

In my research I enjoy developing algorithms for graph mining problems. I am particularly interested in developing efficient algorithms to study patterns on temporal networks. In my works, I enjoy using tools from sampling, probability and concentration theory and I am also very passionate about statistical learning theory.

I am currently on the job market seeking roles where I can leverage my expertise. Feel free to reach out!
