• I graduated in Psychology and Cognitive Neuroscience, with training in AI, neural networks, and Machine Learning, at the Advanced School of Artificial Intelligence (ISTC-CNR).• I collaborated with the Visual Artificial Intelligence Laboratory at Oxford Brookes University, exploring computational models of 'Theory of Mind' cognitive processes.• I am currently a PhD student at Sapienza University in Rome, and a Research Fellow at ISTC-CNR as part of the European project PILLAR-Robots. In this role, I am involved in autonomous robotics, motivational systems, and hierarchical reinforcement learning.• Using an interdisciplinary approach, I combine psychology, neuroscience, and artificial intelligence to develop intelligent systems capable of autonomous learning.• In my spare time, I enjoy designing board games, playtesting, playing the piano and percussion, theatre improv, meditating, organizing social events, camping, and taking long walks in nature.
