About

I obtained my bachelor and master degrees in Mechanical Engineering from Politecnico di Milano (Milan, IT) in 2013 and 2015. I completed my Ph.D. in Bioengineering and Robotics at Università degli Studi di Genova (Genoa, IT) in 2020. Presently, I am a Post-doctoral Researcher at the Artificial and Mechanical Intelligence Laboratory, Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (Genoa, IT).

My primary research focuses on the analysis and design of whole-body flight controllers for humanoid robots, specifically within the Aerial Humanoid Robotics research area. As the Scrum Master and technical coordinator of the iRonCub group, my goal is to enable the humanoid robot iCub to attain flight capabilities
