About me

I received my Ph.D. from the Universitat Pompeu Fabra in 2023, where I specialized in Reinforcement Learning. My research primarily focuses on Hierarchical Reinforcement Learning and long-horizon decision-making. My thesis, Representation Learning for Hierarchical Reinforcement Learning, delves into these topics in detail. Currently, I am working as a Postdoctoral Researcher within the same group, continuing to explore and innovate in these areas.

Before moving to Barcelona I have been working at two research labs:

• At the Blue Brain Project, EPFL, I developed Deep Neural Networks for generative vision problems, significantly improving rendering speeds using image reconstruction techniques.

• At the University of Verona, Intcatch Project, I worked on developing advanced Deep Learning systems for vision and localization, enhancing the autonomy and accuracy of mobile robots through localization algorithms and real-time obstacle detection.
