Hello stranger, and welcome to my personal blog! My name is Matteo Lugli, and I am currently a Master’s student at university of Modena, studying Artificial Intelligence Engineering. I have a BS degree in Computer Science, which is one of my biggest passions. In my free time, I like teaching stuff. I occasionally post videos on my YouTube channel and I’ve also had the chance to be a computer science teacher in high school. My course was all about programming and problem-solving, with a strong focus on learning through coding challenges.

My primary interests lie in deep learning, algorithms and puzzles. Here’s a list of cool project I conducted in the recent years, grouped by topic:

Machine Learning & Deep Learning

Algorithms and puzzles

You’ll find more information about me down below. If you are interested, you can find my bachelor’s thesis at the following link: https://theelandor.github.io/prova/Tesi_Stampa.pdf

Enjoy! ( I mean life, in general ;) )

  • Some things I believe about life (they might change over time):

    • Be kind to others, and dedicate time to your family and friends. One of the most common regrets of old people is not having dedicated enough time to people they love;
    • One of your main priorities in life should be to develop the ability to work deeply and with concentration. If you unlock this skill, you will live an happier life. You will be more satisfied with your work and you will be able to accomplish more in less time;
    • From a young age, you should work more than what other people think you should;
    • Find something that makes you genuinely happy and keep doing it. If it can become your job, then you are very lucky, but it doesn’t always happen;
    • University is overrated. You can learn a lot more with experience and personal projects;
    • You don’t need to have an opinion about everything. Sometimes, just let people talk;
    • Physical activity (somehow moving your body) should be one of the main priorities during your day;
    • Only buy objects that you need;
    • Generative models (e.g ChatGPT) should be used with a lot of care. We still don’t know how these tools impact our brain and our learning capabilities;
    • Happiness lies in creativity.
  • Favourite quote

    […] but man is not made for defeat.
