About me

I was born in Sardinia, Italy, in a time when people still thought digital watches were pretty cool. There I grew up and went to school, learned to love its nature and people.

After gratuating in economics at the University of Cagliari and working for a while in a transportation science reserach center there, I started my academic nomad life, which brought me to Columbia, Missouri, via Perugia, Italy. In Columbia I completed my PhD in Statistics and found Yasemin, the love of my life.

Now I live in the DC area, where I work for Capital One, a Fortune 500 financial company.

Still continue to cultivate the interests for music, history, and philosophy (science, western religion, eastern philosophy, aesthetics and martial arts in particular) I started to grow back in Sardinia. Of course now they have grown to something somewhat different than when they were born. Cooking is a newer and more embryonic interest, born out of sheer necessity in the Midwest, and then finally escaped from its "mere survival" cage
