Federica Tonti

I am a young professional, passionate for scientific research and always looking for new challenges. My competences cover multiple scientific fields, from space propulsion to AI. I strongly believe that AI will have a disrupting impact in the society, that's why I would like to exploit my competences both in space propulsion and turbulence and AI to make the difference in the new challenges our society will be facing from now on.
