Currently in charge of the control and software development (e.g. transparent admittance controllers, dynamics estimation, optimization strategies for controlling over-actuated systems) for lower-limbs and full-body empowering exoskeletons.

Developing software and control algorithms for advanced robotics applications:- Designing the controller and software for an empowering lower-limbs exoskeleton;- Contributed to the development and commissioning (spending 1 month offshore on a pipe-laying ship in the Persian Gulf) of an autonomous "train-like" pipe-coating mobile robot.

Visiting PhD Student at the Hybrid System Lab, supervised by Prof. Ricardo G. Sanfelice.Developed robust hybrid controllers for gradient-free online optimization, proving non-robustness of classic Direct Search optimization algorithms and providing robust modifications
