Hello, I’m Paul a Researcher in AI.

Let Me Explain

I hold a cum laude Master’s in AI from the University of Pisa, where my thesis introduced a novel autoregressive GNN for multivariate time series generation. My core focus is developing and applying Graph Neural Networks for complex time series analysis. At ION Trading, I engineer AI systems that model client needs and market data to provide automated guidance on financial investments. Looking forward, I aim to pivot my core expertise in spatiotemporal modeling towards critical societal problems, specifically within the domain of energy informatics.
