About me

I am a PhD student at IRIDIA, the artificial intelligence laboratory of the Université libre de Bruxelles (ULB). My research focuses on swarm robotics; in particular, I study how we can produce control software for robot swarms with performance guarantees under the supervision of Dr. Mauro Birattari and Prof. Emanuele Garone.

Before joining IRIDIA, I obtained a Master of Physics from the University of Manchester, as well as a Master's degree in Automatic Control and Robotics from the Polytechnic University of Catalonia (UPC). I have also done internships at the German Electron Synchrotron (DESY), the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL) and the Institute of Robotics and Industrial Informatics (IRI).
