Short bio

I am a CPJ (Chaire de Professeur Junior) at LAAS-CNRS and the University of Toulouse.

I obtained my Ph.D. in Control Engineering from Sapienza – University of Rome in 2016. During my doctoral studies, I was a visiting researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics in Tübingen (2011) and the Robotics Institute – Carnegie Mellon University (2015).

After completing my Ph.D., I worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the Robotics Lab of Sapienza – University of Rome (2016–2017), followed by a postdoctoral position at CNRS, Irisa, and Inria Rennes (2017–2019). I then joined the University of Oulu as a postdoctoral researcher (2020) before serving as an Assistant Professor at Maynooth University, Ireland (2020-2022).

Research interests

Physical human-robot interaction (especially drones).
Active state estimation.
Shared control and autonomy for mobile robotics.
Whole-body motion planning.
Localization and control of multi-robot systems.

Editorial roles

I am currently serving as Associate Editor for IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS), IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA), and International Conference on Unmanned Aircraft Systems, and I have organized two special issues for RA-L and three workshops at IROS and ICRA.
