Welcome to my homepage. I am a Ph.D student at IRIDIA, CoDE, Université Libre de Bruxelles, Belgium under the supervision of Prof. Marco Dorigo and Mauro Birattari. My research topics are swarm robotics, swarm engineering and techniques for automatic humanitary de-mining.
I am funded by the F.N.R.S. through a FRIA fellowship since October 2010.
I was involved with the Swarmanoid project in which I studied techniques for collective transport and the integration of different robotic behaviors. I actively partecipated in the realization of "Swarmanoid, the movie" which won the Best Video Award at the AAAI Video Competition 2011
Before joining IRIDIA I studied computer science engineering at Politecnico di Milano, Italy. I obtained my master degree in 2009 with a thesis co-supervised by Prof. Marco Colombetti and Marco Dorigo.
My other interests are: music (I play the bass guitar), concerts, yoga, travelling, reading, origami, chess, movies, beer, nonsense, people and technology
