I was born in 1991. I received the Ph.D. degree in Automatic Control and Operational Research from the University of Bologna in 2019. I am currently working as an Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, and Computer Science (EEMCS), in the Robotics and Mechatronics (RaM) group, University of Twente, Enschede, The Netherlands. My research activity covers many topics, including port-Hamiltonian theory, geometric and nonlinear control, robotics, AI methods for control, multi-physics modeling, modeling and control of distributed parameter systems, and fluid dynamics. I am the author or coauthor of over 40 publications, including international conference proceedings, journal articles and book chapters.
