Carlo Lucibello
I am Assistant Professor in Computer Science at Bocconi University. I obtained my PhD in Physics in 2015 from Sapienza University, under the supervision of Giorgio Parisi and Federico Ricci-Tersenghi. I’m mostly focused on applying analytical tools from statistical physics to the understeanding of machine learning problems and in deriving efficient physics-inspired algorithms for learning, optimization, and inference.
Research interests
Neural Networks, Statistical Inference, Disordered Systems, Combinatorial Optimization.
