Academic Achievements
  • Author or co-author of more than 50 international peer-reviewed papers and regularly serves as a reviewer for over 25 international ISI journals and several supporting agencies.
Research Experience
  • Involved in several EU-funded projects focused on the development of Soft Robotics technologies such as OCTOPUS IP, STIFF-FLOP IP, I-SUPPORT, RoboSoft CA, SMART-E Marie Curie ITN, Hybrid Heart, SoftGrip, AInCP, SWAG, ARISE, and MAESTRI. In the OCTOPUS project, he was the technical team leader responsible for developing a completely soft 8-arm octopus-like robot.
Education
  • Received his MSc in Biomedical Engineering (cum laude) from the University of Pisa, Italy, in 2007, and his PhD in Biorobotics (cum laude) from Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna.
Background
  • Currently an Associate Professor at The BioRobotics Institute, Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna, where he leads the Soft Mechatronics for Biorobotics Lab. His research interests include the study and development of new systems and technologies based on soft/flexible materials, particularly soft actuators, smart compliant sensors, and flexible mechanisms.
