I graduated at the University of Catania, Catania (Italy) in 2017 in an M.Sc. degree in Automation Engineering and Control of Complex Systems.
In 2022, I completed my Ph.D. program in robotics at the National Institute for Applied Sciences, Toulouse, France and I was a Postdoctoral Researcher at LAAS-CNRS, Toulouse, France in 2022.
I currently cover the Assistant Professor role at the University of Catania, Catania, Italy.
My research focuses primarily on robotics. The most important goal is to create systems capable of engaging in physical interactions with their surroundings by exchanging forces in order to perform complex tasks. This involves numerous obstacles, including robots and environment modeling and control.
In this context, I am also interested in studying multi-robot solutions. Some tasks involving physical interaction are too complicated for a single robot to handle. I'm interested in exploring the challenges associated with group robot coordination in the areas of modeling, control, stability analysis, motion planning, and vision.
