About Me
I am a PhD Student in Computer Science at the University of Cagliari, I am part of the research group CG3HCI.
During my studies I developed an interest in Computer Graphics (main focus of my PhD and both my thesis) and Human-Computer Interaction. My research is now focusing on Volume Mapping algorithms and techniques.
In my time at the university I also had the opportunity to explore other fields such as Computer Vision and Deep Learning, although they are not my main focus.

Contributions on Open Source Community
Here are some of the open source projects I have contributed to:
-
Cinolib
CinolibA generic programming header only C++ library for processing polygonal and polyhedral meshes.
CinoLib received the Symposium on Geometry Processing Software Award in 2024.[GitHub] -
VOLMAP
VOLMAPA large-scale benchmark aimed to support ongoing research in volume mapping algorithms.
VOLMAP also comprises tools to process this data and analyze the resulting maps.[Website] -
Graphics Replicability Stamp Initiative
Graphics Replicability Stamp InitiativeAn additional recognition for authors who are willing to go one step further, and in addition to publishing the paper, provide a complete open-source implementation.[Website]
Supervision
Here are the thesis projects I supervised:
