About

Hi! I’m Riccardo, an AI reseracher with a strong background in software engineering.

After working for two years as a Software Engineer in Italy and the UAE, I recently completed my Master’s in Artificial Intelligence at Utrecht University, where I focused on Intelligent Agents, Natural Language Processing, Computer Vision, Reinforcement Learning, and Interpretability applications.

Core skills:

  • Quick concept prototyping: during the last 2 yeasr I have quickly implemented AI algorithms and developed systems for both academia, hackathons and industry
  • Independent research and project management skills: I have guided multiple projects during my Master and independetly worked to defend my Master’s Thesis.
  • AI Research experience with LLMs for both industry and research camp: at TNO I have built a Multi-agent system that employs CoT Distillation + Test Time Compute to improve accuracy by 11%
  • Published work in AI Safety: Are LLM Belief Updates Consistent with Bayes’ Theorem?
  • Joined October 2025
