Born in Genoa (IT) in 1993, I specialized in Robotic Engineering. I've been living in Nice (FR) since 2021, working as an R&D Engineer.
My CV (single page) My CV (Europass)I earned my B.Sc. in Mechatronics from Università degli Studi di Padova in 2015 and subsequently my M.Sc. in Robotics in 2017 after attending the EMARO+ (European Master in Advanced Robotics) program — a double-degree jointly delivered by Università di Genova and Centrale Nantes
From 2017 to 2020, I worked at Laboratorie des Sciences du Numérique de Nantes (LS2N) on my PhD thesis entitled "Dynamic Visual Servoing for Fast Robotic Arms", under the supervision of Philippe Martinet and Olivier Kermorgant.
After getting my doctorate, I moved to Nice where I worked for the Université Côte d'Azur on a post-doctoral research focused on a special type of Model-Predictive-Control. Later, I turned to an ATER (teaching & research) contract at the same university, juxtaposing my research with teaching different disciplines such as C Programming, Linear Algebra and Reinforcement Learning.
Since March 2022, I have been employed as an R&D Engineer at Neurodec, a startup in the biomedical field that has developed a Digital Twin for ultrarealistic simulations of electromyograms in the human arm.
Throughout my academic career, I co-authored a number of journal and conference articles in few different robotic-related fields.
I firmly believe that hobbies are more than just passtimes — they shape who we are. Whether it's through art, coding, or the outdoors, our interests reflect what inspires us and keeps us curious.
My first hikes date back to when I wasn't even walking — mom and dad would put me in a baby carrier and adventure up the mountain trails. No wonder this is the oldest hobby I can remember! But hiking is not the only outdoor activity I enjoy to partake in: in the cold season I love curving on the ski slopes, whereas when the temperature rises I plunge into the sea to snorkel and scuba-dive among the fishes.
Although it became my job, programming was originally a hobby that I discovered as a teenager. My first programs were little more than jokes that turned off my friends' PCs. Although today I program almost exclusively for work, I occasionally enjoy tinkering with a few lines of code to solve a practical problem - like synchronizing my PC's LEDs to music, automating monthly expense analysis or creating a time-lapse of a 3D print.
Last but not least, in 2022 I borrowed my mom's old DSLR to document a couple of hikes near Nice. Since then, I have fallen more and more in love with landscape photography, which has become an integral part of my life. I got my own camera now — a Sony α6400 — that I bring to virtually every hike and adventure. Although I still have much to learn, I am proud of my journey so far!
