I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Dynamic Legged Systems lab at the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia, where I focus on machine learning and optimal control methods for robot locomotion and manipulation.
I received my Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering from the University of Pisa in 2016, followed by a Master’s degree in Artificial Intelligence and Robotics from Sapienza University of Rome in 2018. I then pursued a PhD in Automatic Control, Bioengineering, and Operations Research at the same institution, where I was part of the DIAG Robotics Lab, completing my doctorate in 2022.
My research interests lie at the intersection of learning-based control and robotics, with a particular emphasis on developing robust and efficient methods for complex, real-world robotic systems. I have also contributed to the academic community as an associate editor for major conferences such as IEEE Humanoids and IROS.
Beyond research, I am passionate about open-source software, reproducible research, and teaching. I’m always happy to connect for collaboration—feel free to reach out!
