Biography
Since 2022 I have been an associate professor in the Industrial Engineering Department of the University of Trento (Italy), where I am teaching optimal control and reinforcement learning for robotics, and computer programming in C++. From 2019 to 2021 I had been a tenure-track assistant professor (RTD-B) in the same department.
In 2018 I had been a research scientist in the Movement Generation and Control group at the Max-Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems (Tübingen, Germany), under the lead of Ludovic Righetti.
From 2014 to 2017 I had been an associated researcher in the Gepetto team (LAAS-CNRS, Toulouse), where I have been working with the humanoid robot HRP-2. My main collaborations were with Nicolas Mansard, Olivier Stasse, Steve Tonneau and Justin Carpentier.
Before going to LAAS I had spent four years (3 of PhD + 1 of post-doc) at the Italian Institute of Technology (IIT, Genova, Italy), where I had been working with Lorenzo Natale and Francesco Nori on the iCub humanoid robot.
In 2013 I also started a fruitful collaboration with Michele Focchi, an IIT researcher working with the Hydraulic Quadruped HyQ.
I am currently serving as an Associate Editor for IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters (since 2020) and for IEEE Transactions on Robotics (since 2024).
