About Me
Hi, I'm Viviana! π
I'm a data scientist and AI researcher building systems at the intersection of machine learning, agentic AI, and rigorous evaluation. I'm especially interested in how we measure AI β benchmarking generalization, probing emergent behaviors in multi-agent systems, and developing evaluation frameworks for zero-shot forecasting and reasoning. I'm the first author of LLM on a Budget (IEEE Big Data 2025) β and stay tuned for more exciting work from my team at the Federal Reserve!
Outside of work: dual U.S./Italian citizen, fluent in English, Italian & Spanish, former piano teacher, and always looking for a good book rec.
