Animal-Machine Interfaces

I approach science and engineering as inseparable practices.
My experience as a neuroscientist and engineer, trained across Italy and Germany, taught me that science does not have to remain abstract but it can translate into deployable systems.

For this reason, I specialized in animal–machine interfaces, designed to operate under real-world constraints and within welfare requirements. Designing following the highest technological and ethical standards simultaneously is not a limitation but a practical advantage for producing robust scientific progress.

Throughout my career, I have designed and developed autonomous interaction devices and machine-vision platforms for animals in captivity to increase their agency and in turn produce reliable scientific progress. My technical work spans the full stack: from embedded hardware and physical design to software pipelines, machine-vision–based measurement, and protocols used daily by scientists, veterinarians, and technicians.

Across projects, I align animal welfare, technology, and data-driven decision-making to produce systems that are sustainable, reliable, and scalable.
