Research
His research interests focus on the design and development of innovative solutions based on soft and/or wearable technologies that can be employed in various areas of interest.
In the neurodevelopmental field, he implemented new methodologies for aiding the clinical upper limb motor evaluation in ecological environments using wearable sensors. Moreover, he is participating in the international TECH-TOYS project for the development of a set of soft sensorized toys for the grasp forces detection of infants with brain lesion in their first year of life.
He is currently involved in the Italian project SOFTNESS lead by Prof. Matteo Cianchetti, that aims at sensorizing a soft arm for multifunctional purposes with soft sensor technologies.
