I graduated with a first class honours Master of Science Degree in Computer Engineering from the University of Bologna in 2012. The thesis “Advanced stochastic local search methods for automatic design of Boolean network robots" was supervised by Andrea Roli and Mauro Birattari.

Currently I am a PhD student at IRIDIA, CoDE, Université Libre de Bruxelles (Belgium) under the supervision of Dr. Mauro Birattari.

My research fields are swarm intelligence, swarm robotics, distributed cognition, and planning.
