Simone Bombari

Hi! I am Simone Bombari, and this is my website!

I am a PhD candidate at ISTA, happy and lucky to be supervised by Professor Marco Mondelli. Right now, I enjoy conducting research on topics some sort connected with deep learning, high dimensional probability, and trustworthy machine learning.

As an example, I like to think if over-parameterized models hide some not-necessarily-trivial behavior, with maybe some implications connected to privacy or robustness.

Before joining ISTA I studied Physics at Scuola Normale Superiore and University of Pisa. Then, my passion for modelling and statistics led me to change field, and to approach the interesting (and weird) world of machine learning!

During my PhD, I had the luck and opportunity to intern as an applied scientist at AWS, and as NLP quant researcher at G Research. Since the fall of 2024, I am supported by a Google PhD fellowship.

Of course, I’m much more than just a PhD student in theoretical ML. I have a deep passion for sports, fitness, games and many other things!
