Postdoctoral Researcher @ TUM MIRMI · Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellow · Wearable & Human-Robot Interfaces

I’m an Italian postdoctoral researcher at the Munich Institute of Robotics and Machine Intelligence (MIRMI), TUM. My work focuses on magnetic sensing & modeling, wearable/soft robotics, and physical human–robot interaction, with the broader goal of making human–robot interfaces more natural and intuitive. I’m currently funded by a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship (project SCOUT).
🧪 Past stops include Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna (PhD, Biorobotics) and Heidelberg University.

• Magnetic sensing for prosthetics & exoskins — from modeling to embedded implementation.
• Wearable robotics & pHRI — control, intent inference, and safe assistance.
• Mechatronics for human–machine interfaces — robust sensing pipelines for out-of-lab use.

• PhD, Biorobotics (cum laude) — Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna (2023)
• MSc, Bionics Engineering (110/110 cum laude) — University of Pisa & SSSA (2019)
• BSc, Information Engineering (110/110) — University of Padua (2017)
  During my PhD I worked on the Myokinetic Interface for dexterous control and proprioceptive feedback in transradial amputees and contributed to national/EU projects (e.g., ERC Starting Grant Myki).

• 🏅 Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship (SCOUT), 2024.
• 🥇 ICRA’24 TC Workshop Poster – 1st Prize, “Supervised Autonomy: How to Shape Human-Robot Interaction…” (Heidelberg Univ.).
