I am a Postdoctoral researcher in Prof. E. Frazzoli’s group at Eth Zürich. We are focused on the future of embodied intelligence, using autonomous driving as the primary application. Our research encompasses the entire mobility challenge, ranging from individual vehicle technology (such as autonomous cars) to large-scale distributed systems like mobility on demand.

My current research focuses on decision-making for autonomous vehicles in multi-agent settings. Both from the developers’ prospective (motion planning algorithms) and from the evaluation prospective of evaluating observed behaviors. In brief, my focus is on:

  • Sensible decision-making that takes into account others reaction to our decisions (game-theoretic motion planning);
  • Modeling non-trivial risk and uncertainty (e.g., risk associated to the falsification of hypotheses we make about others);
  • Behavior evaluation in the context of safety critical decision-making (e.g., can we find risk proxies from observed behaviors?);
  • Applications range from urban driving scenarios to racing go-karts.

In the past, I have been working also on optimization of power networks and cross-sensor learning for object detection (see Wormhole Learning papers).

Short Bio

I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute for Dynamic Systems and Control at ETH Zurich, under the supervision of Prof. Emilio Frazzoli. I received my B.Sc. from Politecnico di Milano and my M.Sc. degrees in Robotics, Systems, and Control from ETH Zürich in 2015 and 2017, respectively. I have been a visiting researcher at the ABB Corporate Research and Research Engineer at IDSC in 2017 and 2018, and at MIT Lids in Prof. Karaman’s group in 2023. I successfully defended my doctoral thesis at ETH in November 2023.
