About Me

I am the Principal Perception Engineer at L&A, a Californian agriculture technology firm, developing robust Computer Vision systems for laser weeding. I recently obtained my Ph.D. degree at the Photogrammetry and Robotics Lab of the University of Bonn with a thesis titled “Robotics in Horticulture: From Sensor Data to Autononous Harvesting”. I have worked at the University of Bonn since November 2019 within the Cluster of Excellence “PhenoRob” working on Computer Vision, Machine Learning and Robotics for sustainable crop production. I have been a visiting student at the Centre for Robotics of the Queensland University of Technology in fall 2023. I received my M.Sc. in Artificial Intelligence and Robotics from “La Sapienza” University of Rome with a thesis on Swarm Robotics for Precision Agriculture in collaboration with the National Research Council of Italy and the Wageningen University and Research. During my master, I spent one semester at the University of Freiburg as an Erasmus student.
