Francesco Della Santa

Francesco Della Santa is a Fixed-term Assistant Professor at the Department of Mathematical Sciences (DISMA) of Politecnico di Torino, where he contributes to teaching and research in deep learning, numerical analysis, and optimization.

• Master Degree in Mathematics, University of Florence (2017)
• Ph.D. in Pure and Applied Mathematics, Politecnico di Torino (2021)

His research focuses on Deep Learning and its applications to Numerical Optimization and Physically-Based Simulations, with a particular emphasis on uncertainty quantification and graph-informed neural networks. Recent publications explore discontinuous neural networks for kernel learning, edge-wise graph modeling, and multi-start optimization techniques.

Francesco collaborates on courses like Numerical Optimization for Large Scale Problems and Mathematics for Artificial Intelligence across Mathematical Engineering and Data Science programs. He supervises Ph.D. student Filippo Aglietti in the Energetics program (38th cycle, ongoing since 2022).
