I am a robotics postdoctoral researcher at UC Berkeley, working with Prof.
Before that, I received my Ph.D. at ETH Zurich in 2021, under the supervision of Prof.
My Ph.D. thesis was awarded the ETH Medal, and in 2022, I was selected as a Robotics Science and Systems Pioneer. I am also the recipient of an SNSF Postdoctoral Fellowship, the Best Paper Award at the 2020 IEEE International Conference on Soft Robotics, and the 2017 ETEL Award.
I received a M.Sc. in Robotics, Systems and Control from ETH Zurich in 2016, and a B.Sc. in Automation Engineering from Politecnico di Milano. During my studies, I completed an exchange programme at Tongji University in Shanghai, where I received a Double Bachelor's Degree in Information Technology Engineering (2016).
