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. I study Artificial Intelligence Engineering. Computer science is my biggest passion, that’s why here you will mainly find I.T related posts and articles, together with some of my university notes.

My primary interests lie in algorithms, machine learning and deep learning. During my bachelor’s internship I worked on reinforcement learning applied to autonomous vehicles coordination at smart intersections. Together with my supervisors, I co-authored a scientific article that has now been published. If you’re interested, you can find the work at the following link: https://www.mdpi.com/1424-8220/24/4/1288.

I used to teach computer science in Liceo Statale “R. Corso”. My course was an introduction to algorithms and problem solving, which I believe is a really important skill to develop from a young age.

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;
    • Happiness lies in creativity.
