About me

Hi there! I’m Daniele Malitesta, a postdoc researcher at CentraleSupélec (Université Paris-Saclay) working with Prof. Fragkiskos Malliaros.

Previously, I pursued my PhD in Electrical and Information Engineering at Politecnico di Bari under the supervision of Prof. Tommaso Di Noia.

My main research topics are Graph Representation Learning, Recommender Systems, and Multimodal Deep Learning.
