She received the B.Sc. degree in Biomedical Engineering in 2018 and the M.Sc. degree in Robotic and Automation Engineering in 2021 from the University of Pisa, Italy. She has been a guest student at the Dynamic Legged Systems (DLS) lab at Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT) in Genoa, Italy, where she worked on her M.Sc. thesis. She earned her Ph.D. in Bioengineering and Robotics from the University of Genoa and IIT in 2025. Currently, she is a postdoctoral researcher at DLS, focusing on state estimation and legged robots. Her research interests also include robotics, perception, vision, and simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM).
