Hi there!

I am a research associate in the Verification of Autonomous Systems group at Imperial College, working with Alessio Lomuscio. I am also affiliated with the Centre for Explainable AI at Imperial. My research concerns the verification of learning-enabled systems within the DARPA Assured Autonomy Program.

Before joining Imperial, I obtained a PhD in Computer Science from RWTH Aachen University and UNIGE with a thesis on AI Planning.

You might want to check out my CV to get a better picture of what I’ve done professionally so far.
