Biografia

I received the bachelor's degree in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Genoa (UniGe), Italy, in 2017, carrying out a thesis on endoprosthesis. In 2021 I received the master’s degree in Bioengineering from UniGe, performing the thesis on an exoskeleton for lower limb assistance in affiliation with Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT). I worked for almost two years as a Fellow Jr. researcher on an exoskeleton for back support. I am currently pursuing the Ph.D. degree in Bioengineering and Robotics from UniGe, Italy, affiliated with IIT. My research interests include prosthetics, exoskeletons, assessment methodologies, and human-robot interaction.
