I am a Technologist at ISTC-CNR in Rome, where I conduct research in Human–Robot Interaction (HRI) and Cognitive Robotics. My research focuses on the design, implementation, and validation of computational cognitive models to support trustworthy HRI. I have contributed to several EU-funded research projects and have extensive hands-on experience with robotic systems deployed in real-world social contexts, including healthcare, cultural heritage, and search and rescue scenarios. My work emphasizes practical applicability, experimental validation, and responsible innovation.
