πŸ“ Something About Me

I love Nature, Robot and Research. What is a possible meeting point? Autonomous systems used in the exploration of unknown and endangered environments!
I'm a (Oct.2025) PhD candidate in Underwater Robotics at the University of Montpellier,
with the Robotique Sous-Marine (RSM) Team.
My future PhD thesis is entitled: "Mapping and monitoring of the surface state and biological colonization of submerged parts of offshore wind turbines by acoustic imaging".

My objective is to work on R&D in Underwater Robots perception. I want to enhance scene understanding and system autonomy, for biodiversity, environmental, and renewable infrastructure monitoring.

I believe that there are unsolved problems in different fields of science and engineering, with many similarities we don't think about. That's why joining forces is the only way to solve some of those. I want to work closely with experts in biology, environmental studies, mechanics, etc..., to find the solution to those problems.

I'm very passionate about what I do. I love learning and understanding how stuff works.
πŸ’¬ Don't hesitate to reach me if you have similar interests, I love sharing ideas !! (email or LinkedIn above)

πŸŽ“ Last Research Project (MSc Thesis)

πŸ“˜ If you are curious about this project, my MSc Thesis is shared here!

I worked on a multilimbed multimodal (walking-climbing-driving) robot for extreme environment exploration, in particular:

  • ROS2 (Humble and Jazzy) software implementation in C++
  • Motion algorithm definition and implementation
  • Model identification and kinematic modeling
  • Dexterity analysis in MATLAB
  • Simulation in Gazebo (Classic and Harmonic)
  • Real system experiments
Click the YouTube button to see the simulations and experiments!

This project started as a researcher at the Space Robotics Lab (SRL, Tohoku University) and than completed as Master Student at Politecnico di Milano.
If you were so crazy to take a look at it, please let me know what you think about my work!

πŸ‘¨β€πŸ’» I'm Currently on...

  • 🌊 Underwater Robot perception state of the art
  • πŸ“· Computer Vision and Image Analysis (OpenCV)
  • πŸ“Š Deep Learning for Object Detection (TensorFlow, PyTorch)
  • 🧭 (Semantic) SLAM (Underwater Acoustic-Visual)
  • 🌐 3D Reconstruction

🦾 I'm Planning to...

  • πŸ–₯️ Simulation with NVIDIA Omniverse Isaac Sim and Stonefish
  • ⛓️ CAD Tools, Fusion360 probably
  • 🧰 Raspberry Pi and more Hardware practice
  • 🐟 A lot of marine Biology
