I’ve presented our work at the 2025 IEEE International Symposium on Circuits and Systems and had very interesting discussions about post-quantum cryptography. Thanks to the orgaizers for the amazing work. You can chek my slides here and here you can find a blog post that summarizes the motivation and context of our results. In this repository you find all the implementations related to the project. As soon as the proceedings of the conference will be published I will also share more details about our findings.

I have just published a simple educational project that should help the novice to get started with the Google Earth Engine API. The main steps of this project are summarized in the associated Github repository. As a byproduct of the project I have created a new dataset on Kaggle, check it here! This dataset provides geographic and environmental data on different islands from around the world, focusing on their potential for renewable energy generation. It includes information on solar irradiance, wind speeds, and other characteristics useful for sustainability studies and geographic analysis. Since there are not so many public cleaned dataset of this kind I hope it will be usefull.

I’m going to present at IJCNN 2025 a couple of recent results about the intersections of quantum computing and hyperdimensional computing, and a collaboration on the application of QAOA-type methods to anomaly detection problems in univariate time-series. This year I’m lucky that the conference will be held in Rome, thanks to all the organizers for the amazing work they are doing. If you happen to be around let me know!

Acoording to tradition, also this year we are hosting the Open DIET event where highschool students can join for one day the research teams in our Department in innovative projects and see with their own eyes cutting edge technologies and curren trends in modern electronics, artificial intelligence and quantum computing. This year I will propose a (hopefully fun) project where a student can simulate Classical and Quantum Walks with an Arduino-Based LED System. All the details are in this repository. If you happen to be in Rome in that period, let me know!
