About Me

I am an Associate Lecturer (Teaching) in Robotics and AI at UCL's Department of Computer Science. My research interests comprise Humanoid Whole-Body Control, Optimal Control, teleoperation for legged robots, Reinforcement Learning, Black-Box Optimization, and safety for control and learning strategies.

Before joining UCL in 2022, I was a Post Doctoral Researcher for four years at Sapienza University of Rome under the guidance of Prof. Giuseppe Oriolo. I received my Ph.D. degree from Sapienza University of Rome in 2017, during which I was a visiting researcher at The Technical University of Darmstadt in 2014 and at the INRIA Grand-Est Nancy in 2015. In 2021, I was awarded a starting research grant from Sapienza University of Rome.
