I am a PhD Candidate in the Laboratory for Information and Decision Systems within the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Before joining MIT, I was a visiting scholar at the University of California, Los Angeles, and I worked as an Analyst for Accenture Consulting.
I graduated from University of Catania, Italy, with a MS in Systems and Control Engineering in 2004 and earned a Diploma Engineer degree from Scuola Superiore di Catania, Italy, in 2005.

My research interests include algorithmic and computational approaches to the design and development of decision and control architectures for complex networked and autonomous systems, and bio-inspired robotics.
