About me
I am a fourth year Ph.D. Candidate in Mechanical Engineering at the University of California, Riverside, in Dr. Fabio Pasqualetti’s lab. I work on control theory, with a focus on optimal data-driven controls and network controls. I hold a M.Sc. in Robotics and Automation Engineering (2018) and a B.Sc. in Computer Engineering, both from the from the University of Pisa. I was Visiting Scholar at Georgia Tech in 2018 with Dr. Magnus Egerstedt and Prof.ssa Lucia Pallottino.
I interned at Amazon Robotics in 2018 and I took part in two projects sponsored by the European Space Agency.
