About me

I'm a PhD candidate in Perceptual Robotics 🤖, I focus my research on high-level controls for autonomous vehicles, both terrestrials 🏎️ and aerials 🛸, but I also enjoy Embedded programming and low-level controls!

Experience

  1. Tutoring on class projects and master theses

    March 2021 — Present

    University of Pisa holds Master's degree on Robotics and Automation Engineering and Mechatronics and Vision class, where several students approach hardware projects that spans from the low-level actuation controls, up to autonomous navigation and control of both ground and aerial vehicles. I propose related topics and follow master students through their work.

  2. Formula SAE - Driverless Sector manager at UniversitĂ  di Pisa Racing Team

    November 2018 — October 2021

    A combustion racing car is developed from scratch, in order to compete in autonomous competition between universities. My contribute mainly was on developing low-level actuation, perceptual systems and high-level trajectory planning, beyond managing the work of the group of students of the Driverless Sector.

  3. Many projects from my Master course exams

    October 2016 — June 2020
