Biografia

After few experiences as a mechanical engineer in some companies, I actually decided to push my-self ahead facing new challenges by attending a PhD path at IIT. I'm working on thinking and designing new technologies to support and assist humans in work and daily living activities by developing new exoskeletons. I've found the best trade-off between my interests as a mechanical engineer and in making things helpful for people health.
