I am a Research Engineer at ISTC-CNR in Rome, where I conduct research in Human–Robot Interaction (HRI) and Cognitive Robotics. My work focuses on computational cognitive models for trustworthy and collaborative interaction between humans and intelligent autonomous systems. I combine theoretical approaches with experimental validation in real-world contexts, contributing to the design of adaptive, explainable, and socially aware robotic systems. Over the years, I have been involved in several EU-funded research projects and have worked extensively with robots deployed in healthcare, cultural heritage, and search-and-rescue scenarios. My research interests include trustworthy AI, adaptive autonomy, cognitive systems, and responsible human-centered robotics.
