I obtained a MSc degree in Biomedical Engineering in 2009 at the University of Pisa, Italy. In January 2013, I received a PhD in “Innovative Technologies – Biorobotics” at the Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna (Pisa, Italy). From February 2013 to January 2014 I was a research fellow at the Center for Micro-BioRobotics@SSSA (Pisa, Italy) of Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia. From January 2014 to May 2018, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems (Stuttgart, Germany) in the Max Planck Research Group for Micro, Nano, and Molecular Systems. From June 2015, I was also a fellow of the Max Planck ETH Center for Learning Systems. From May 2018 to January 2021 I was a postdoctoral researcher in the Bioinspired Soft Robotics group of Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia. From February 2021 I am Assistant Professor at the BioRobotics Institute of Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna (Pisa, Italy) where I am the PI of the Microscale Robotics Laboratory.
