📚 My Research

I’m a research scientist at the Laboratory of Applied Intelligent Systems (AIS-Lab), in the Computer Science Department of University of Milan.

In brief my research focuses on serious games design, involving mixed-reality and human-computer/ human-robot interaction with multimodal feedback. In particular, I investigate the role of digital applications and humanoid-robots to support physical and cognitive rehabilitation.
