I am currently a PhD student at the Politecnico di Milano, part of the COMPASS group since September 2024. I hold Bachelor’s degrees in Management and Mechanical Engineering from the University of Parma, as well as a Master’s degree in Space Engineering from Politecnico di Milano.
Before joining COMPASS, I conducted research at the GRVC Laboratory (University of Seville), contributing to projects in aerial (GRIFFIN) and space robotics (AROSA). My work involved developing realistic simulation models and synthesizing advanced control schemes.
My current research, funded by Infinite Orbits and conducted in cooperation with them, focuses on developing advanced autonomous Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GNC) algorithms for a CubeSat technology demonstration in Low Earth Orbit (LEO). This research addresses key challenges such as handling uncooperative targets, computational constraints, perturbations, weak observability, and designing fuel-efficient trajectories.
My primary research interests include autonomous relative GNC, orbital mechanics, optimization, active debris removal, and space robotics.
