Me on a windy day in Scotland.
Hello there! I’m Vale and this is my blog.
For the past five years, I’ve had the privilege of working as a research assistant at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), specifically at the Chair of Signal Processing (MSV). My research has focused on applying deep learning to improve the physical layer of wireless communications, specifically addressing challenges such as distribution shifts, channel compression, channel aging, and precoding optimization using graph-neural networks.
During my time at TUM, I collaborated with Futurewei Technologies (USA) and Imperial College London to develop AI-driven solutions for next-generation wireless systems. At the same time, I supported the Numerical Linear Algebra for Signal Processing course in the Master’s program by conducting tutorials (exercise lectures) and preparing programming projects.
I hold both a BSc and an MSc (both with honors) in Telecommunication Engineering from Politecnico di Milano. During my master’s studies, I did an exchange at TUM and I worked as a signal processing student at Intel Corporation (Munich branch) during the “5G era”.
Recently, I discovered Weights & Biases (wandb), an awesome tool for tracking machine learning experiments. Feel free to check my ML portfolio there!
Aside from my research, I’m truly passionate about everything AI and machine learning-related. This space is where I collect my notes on all the fascinating things I’ve encountered throughout my journey, starting from my time as a young researcher at TUM.
