Hi!

I’m Edoardo, a Research Assistant in the SISLab at the University of Trento, where I work with Prof. Giuseppe Riccardi. My research focuses on LLM post-training, conversational agents, and reinforcement learning.

I previously earned a Master’s degree in Artificial Intelligence from the University of Trento, where I conducted my thesis research under the supervision of Prof. Giuseppe Riccardi and Prof. Koichiro Yoshino. During my Master’s, I worked on dialogue systems, LLM reasoning, and vision-language models (VLMs).
