About

He received his Master Degree in Electronic Engineering with a specialization in "Systems and Automation" at University of Messina, Italy, on May 2005, with degree thesis "Analysis, Modelling and Simulation of the shoulder complex kinematics". From May to October 2005 he worked on the sensors and electronic interface of HELLODOC (HEaLthcare Service Linking "TelerehabilitatiOn" to Disable peOple and Clinicias) project at Signo Motus srl, Messina, Italy. In June 2006 he received the Master in Information and Communication of Technology at the CEFRIEL (ICT Center of Excellence For Research, Innovation, Education and Industrial Labs partnership) - Polytechnic of Milan, Italy. From September to December 2006 he worked at the Sintesi S.C.p.A., Bari, Italy, about the user interfaces and image processing of SATIS (Small Animal Tomographic Imaging System). From January to December 2007 he was assistant research at the ARTS-Labs Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna. Since January 2008 he is PhD Student in Automatic, Robotic and Bioengineering at the Interdepartmental Research Centre "E. Piaggio" of the Faculty of Engineering of University of Pisa.
