I am currently a Lecturer of the CAS ETH in Applied Automation Technology , with the Automatic Control Laboratory (IfA).
I obtained the BSc degree in Management Engineering in 2015 and the MSc degree with honours in Control Engineering in 2017, both from Politecnico di Milano. In 2017, I worked at the Laboratoire d'Automatique (LA) of EPFL to develop my MSc thesis under the guidance of Prof. G. Ferrari-Trecate. In 2018, I worked as research assistant with Prof. R. Scattolini at the Systems & Control Group of Politecnico di Milano. In 2024 I obtained my PhD degree from the Automatic Control Laboratory at ETH Zurich supervised by Prof. J. Lygeros.

My research lies at the intersection of automatic control, optimization, and machine learning.
A recurring question behind my work is:
How can we control and provide guarantees for increasingly complex systems while relying less on detailed mathematical models and centralized decision making?
We approach this question from three complementary directions: learning controllers directly from data, managing large networks through local decisions, and applying these ideas to future energy systems.
