RESEARCH
Innovation

Following the completion of my Master's Degree in Digital Humanities, graduating with honors and specializing in Virtual Technologies for Edutainment and Cultural Heritage, I joined Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna as a PhD researcher.

My research focused on the concepts of presence and advanced robotic technologies for interaction within virtual environments, combining immersive technologies with human-centered design. I worked on the development of visualization systems, intelligent interfaces, teleoperation solutions, human–machine interaction, and perception technologies, contributing to innovative applications across multiple domains, including cultural heritage, assistive technologies, healthcare, rehabilitation, industrial design, simulation, training, and education.

During my doctoral research, under the supervision of Prof. Marcello Carrozzino, I collaborated on interdisciplinary projects with internationally recognized institutions, including the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), Ca' Foscari University of Venice, and the National Museum of San Matteo in Pisa.

PASSIONS
Life & Interests

An avid booklover and art enthusiast, I'm a firm believer in courage, kindness and lifelong learning: this is the reason why in my free time I love studying sociology, economics, physics and astronomy (though sometimes nothing beats a good retro-videogame to relax).

My favourite writers are: Italo Calvino, Jane Austen, Jorge Luis Borges, Oscar Wilde.

Last but not least, I'm a yogi and a shotokan karate black belt. Martial arts taught me to be a tireless fighter.
