I'm Luca — a Research Scientist at CryptoEconLab
I hold a PhD in Theoretical & Computational Chemistry and a background in Engineering Physics.
Previously, I worked as an MEV Scientist Engineer with the Team Agents at Urani.trade, building intent-based infrastructure for fairer and more efficient decentralized markets.
I come from a scientific background: from early experiments frying molecules with ultrafast lasers to getting hyped seeing hundreds of CPUs grinding Quantum Mechanical simulations.
After years in academia, I got hooked by the potential of blockchain technology.
At Urani.trade, I explored routing algorithms for optimal trade execution and intent-based systems to protect users from toxic MEV — here are a few things I wrote with Team Agents.
You can read about some of my Web3 experiments and reflections on my blog.
In my spare time, I'm diving into Large Language Model Agents.
- 9 articles in peer-reviewed journals.
- 3 oral contributions at international scientific conferences.
