Federico Meloni (federicheddu)

Hello, my name is Federico Meloni!

I am a PhD student in Computer Science at the University of Cagliari, specializing in computer graphics.

My research focuses on volume maps, exploring innovative techniques and applications in this field.

I am passionate about technology and innovation, and I am always looking for new challenges and opportunities to learn and grow.

In my free time, I enjoy playing basketball, videogames and board games, listening to music, watching movies, and exploring new places, always with a camera in hand.

This website is a showcase of my work and interests, but it is also an experiment always work in progress.
Sometimes you can find something new (like my travel map), sometimes you can find something broken. I hope you enjoy it!

Feel free to reach out to me via email or connect with me on social media!
