Filippo Bonafé

PhD Candidate, University of Modena and Reggio Emilia

PhD candidate at the Marco Biagi Foundation (DEMB), University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, conducting research on Quantum Optimization and Machine Learning algorithms. Previously, I worked as a Research Fellow within the QUACK (QUAntum Customer Knowledge) project, developing quantum and quantum-inspired optimization and clustering models for financial and behavioral data. I contributed to a joint publication with CREDEM presented at GECCO 2025 and actively participates in several conferences, including ODS, EUME, and NQSTI. I'm also involved in the CREDEM–UNIMORE Quantum Hub, established in 2025 to foster research and innovation in quantum technologies for the banking sector.
