Background and Work

Robotics engineer focused on real-world autonomy, with experience across research labs, student robotics teams, and industry-facing engineering projects.

Core focus areas

  • Autonomy on real robots: ROS 2 integration, Nav2 tuning, and deployment workflows.
  • Semantic mapping: confirmed-only object memory for robust goal selection.
  • Perception and navigation: RGB-D, LiDAR pipelines, TF alignment, localization, and planning.
  • System engineering: launch tooling, bagging, debugging timing and QoS, and repeatable experiments.

Experience

Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (Dynamic Legged Systems)

Research and implementation work on semantic object-goal navigation for quadruped robots.

  • Developed and validated a two-stage navigation stack in ROS 2 for real-world deployment.
  • Integrated perception, mapping, and navigation modules with reproducible experiment workflows.
