                    I’m inspired by control systems' ability to solve complex problems, and NCCR Automation’s interdisciplinary environment encourages collaboration and growth
I received my B.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering in 2018 and my M.Sc. in Mechatronic Engineering in 2020, both from Politecnico di Torino. During my master's, I conducted research at Osaka University, developing a Model Predictive Control (MPC) for the attitude control of a CMG-based satellite for my thesis. I am currently pursuing a Ph.D. at the IMT School of Lucca under the guidance of Prof. Mario Zanon and Prof. Alberto Bemporad, focusing on the stability and automatic design of tracking costs in Economic MPC. Outside academia, I enjoy running, hiking, playing the bass guitar, football, and badminton.
