About me

Hi 👋! I am a Postdoc at ETH Zürich and a visiting scientist at WSL, Switzerland. My research focuses on robotics and computer science and involves autonomous robots in different environmental contexts. I have investigated ground and aerial robots for this, as well as foundational aspects of robotics, sensing, and computing.

Before (2024), I was a Postdoc at Yale University's GRAB Lab and jointly at the Intelligent Autonomy Lab. I did my Ph.D. work (2022) in robotics at the Unmanned Aerial Systems Center at the University of Southern Denmark with Professor Ulrik Pagh Schultz, where I developed simultaneous path planning and task scheduling for the Opterra drone, an aerial robot for precision agriculture. I have been researching different techniques for this, including periodic modeling, data-driven control, and coverage planning.

I got my M.Sc. (2018) in computer science at the Altair Robotics Lab at the University of Verona in Italy with Professor Paolo Fiorini, where I studied obstacle avoidance and trajectory generation using indirect methods for quadrotors.
