About me
Welcome to my page!
I am currently a Postdoctoral Researcher at LAAS-CNRS of Toulouse, where I'm working on planning integrating the Theory of Mind (modeling the human's mental state). Previously, I've been Postdoc at the Department of Computer Science of Torino, focusing on AI systems (planning & learning systems + deep learning for environmental models). I have been working on projects integrating high-level planning with learning components (e,g, IMPACT), and I am curious about exploring neurosymbolic models that combine deep learning with prior knowledge.

My primary research interest lies in developing autonomous architectures capable of continuously acquiring new knowledge and leveraging it to efficiently learn further in a virtuous cycle. A central aspect of this challenge is the design of appropriate knowledge representations at all levels, from low-level skills to high-level concepts. Identifying a unified framework for this remains an open challenge in the field.
I have also been a member of the Planning and Scheduling Team (PST) at the Institute for Cognitive Sciences and Technologies (ISTC-CNR) in Rome, and part of the RoboCup Soccer SPL team Luxembourg United.
