Hello!

I am a researcher in medical robotics, focussing on rehabilitation and assistive robotics, human-machine interfaces and interaction, and applied machine learning.

After obtaining a degree in Biomedical Engineering in 1998 at the University of Genoa, Italy, I did a Ph.D. in Artificial Intelligence (Mathematical Logic) at the School of Informatics of the University of Edinburgh, Scotland, in 2005.

Soon after, I turned my attention to robotics for the disabled, spending 4.5 years as a post-doctoral fellow at the Advanced Robotics Laboratory of the University of Genoa, Italy. In 2009, I landed at the German Aerospace Centre where, as of now, I am a senior researcher and joint lab leader at the Institute of Robotics and Mechatronics.

In 2021 I have been appointed full professor of medical robotics at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg. Here, I happily lead the Assistive Intelligent Robotics (AIROB) Lab and enjoy being the Deputy Dean for Public Relations and Communication of the Faculty of Engineering.

As of now, I have co-authored about 160 scientific papers, I am involved in a few research projects at the Bavarian, German, and European levels, and I serve as Associate Editor for the IEEE Transactions on Neuro-engineering and Rehabilitation, as a board member for the International Consortium of Rehabilitation Robotics (ICORR), as the organiser of the ICORR YouTube Channel and as an Editor and Associate Editor for BioRob and the RehabWeek.

Here you will find my full curriculum vitae.
