🚁 3D Vision & Robotics Researcher

📍 Rome, Italy
🏢 Computer Vision Researcher @ DeepPlants
🎓 PhD (Italian Institute of Technology & University of Genoa) · Former Postdoc (IIT)
🧠 3D Vision · SLAM · Large-scale 3D Reconstruction · Autonomous Drones · Robotic Manipulation · ROS 2 · PX4

I design and deploy end-to-end autonomous robotic systems that operate in real-world environments.
My work spans drone-based perception, SLAM, and 3D reconstruction, with hands-on experience taking systems from research prototypes to deployed platforms in industry and the field.

• SLAM and 3D reconstruction pipelines for large-scale outdoor environments
• Autonomous micro-UAV systems (PX4, MAVSDK, MAVLink, VOXL 2)
• Real-time perception and data pipelines (ROS 2, Python, C++)
• Active and multimodal 3D perception (RGB, depth, LiDAR)
• Robotic manipulation and autonomous 3D scanning systems

👉 Drone-based Autonomous Mapping System (PX4 · SLAM · 3D Reconstruction)
👉 Real-time SLAM with Neural Scene Representations (3D Gaussian Splatting)
👉 Autonomous Robotic 3D Scanning (Cultural Heritage Digitization)
