I am a third-year PhD student in the National PhD Programme in Artificial Intelligence at the Polytechnic of Turin, in collaboration with the University of Verona. I am supervised by Prof. Marco Cristani and Prof. Alessandro Farinelli.
My research interests span the entire area of Deep Learning, with a focus on enhancing the autonomy of intelligent agents. I am currently exploring Foundation Models and their use in Embodied AI to improve navigation, common sense reasoning, and human-robot interaction.
I was a visiting student researcher at Simon Fraser University (Vancouver, CA) for five months, working under the supervision of Prof. Angel Xuan Chang in the GrUVi Lab!
