I am a Professor of Robotics at the Bristol Robotics Laboratory, University of the West of England, Bristol (United Kingdom). I employ my expertise in Cognitive Ergonomics and Neuroergonomics to investigate the psychological and physiological processes of people involved in Human-Robot Systems. According to the results of such studies, my goal is to improve abilities, experience, well-being, and health of individuals interacting with smart mechatronic devices in real-world contexts. I pay special attention to frameworks of human-robot co-adaptation and collaboration in clinical and industrial settings (encompassing, for instance, brain-robot interfaces and telepresence). My area of activity embraces human-centric (especially value-sensitive) robot design and assessment. At present, I am also a Visiting Fellow at the Knowledge Media Institute of the Open University in Milton Keynes (United Kingdom). Previously, the Kyushu University in Fukuoka (Japan) and the Indian Institute of Technology in Gandhinagar (India) honoured me through their invitations to teach human factors in robotics as, respectively, Guest Lecturer and Scholar-In-Residence.Furthermore, I currently serve as an Associate Editor of Frontiers in Neuroergonomics - Cognitive Neuroergonomics, and as a member of the Editorial Board of the Wiley International Journal of Medical Robotics and Computer-Assisted Surgery.efore moving to Bristol, my background as a Human Factors Scientist and Specialist have been shaped (between 2006 and 2024), through extra-academic activities on user-centred design, a MSc (extension of my BSc) in Experimental Psychology and Cognitive Neuroscience (University of Padua, Italy), a PhD in Robotics, Cognition and Interaction Technologies (University of Genoa, Italy), roles as postdoc and researcher at the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT - Advanced Robotics Department and Rehab Technologies Lab). During my thirteen years at IIT I have mainly worked on human-centred robotic-digital technologies for biomedical (surgical, assistive, prosthetic, rehabilitative) domains. For instance, I contributed to µRALP (European project on robot-assisted laser surgery), to bionic limbs embodiment in collaboration with Centro Protesi INAIL, and, as Co-Coordinator, to TEEP-SLA (project funded by Fondazione Roma on assistive technologies). In particular, I have been the Principal Investigator of ENACT, a rehabilitation technology project supported by the Italian Multiple Sclerosis Association and its Foundation (AISM and FISM) in synergy with the RAISE ecosystem for innovation.
