My research is in the intersection between of computer vision and robotics. I make robot perceive and reason about the environment.

I work in a pretty cool project in the silicon valley. I was at Amazon research in Seattle, WA. I spent great years as senior research fellow in the AIS Lab head by Prof. W. Burgard in Freiburg, Germany. I did my Ph.D. at ETH Zurich in the Prof. Roland Siegwart group in Switzerland. Before, I was research assistant in EPFL Lausanne, Switzerland in his former lab. I am originally from Rome in Italy, where I graduated in Electrical Engineering.

 

I published quite some papers (full list). This is a subset that well represents my work.
