Welcome

I am a Departmental Lecturer in Mobile Robotics at the Oxford Robotics Institute (ORI) where I co-lead the Mobile Robotics Group (MRG) with Professor Paul Newman. I am also a College Lecturer in Engineering Science at Pembroke College.

I have a passion for cyber-physical systems, among which robots shine, and love working on making robots autonomously operate from the ground up. In doing so, I believe more and more that learning and adaptation is paramount for robot autonomy. I hope that my work will enable robots to be widely adopted in a variety of applications, from industrial and business to domestic environments, helping the people in their day-to-day tasks.

I joined MRG as a Postdoctoral Research Assistant in 2018 after a DPhil in Engineering Science at the Università degli Studi di Pavia under the supervision of Prof. Tullio Facchinetti. During my doctorate studies, I investigated the application of real-time sscheduling algorithms to energy management of electromechanical devices with the goal of reducing the power consumption. Before that, I had my BSc at the Università degli Studi di Pavia and my MSc at the Politecnico di Torino where I studied Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering respectively.
