Research interests: my current work mainly focuses on the design and implementation of a human aging avatar aiming at representing a computational framework to test scientific hypothesis on the impact of healthy human aging on vision and vision-related activities. I also participate to the design and realization of human navigation experimental protocols based on subject eye-tracking and motion capture as well as to the data analysis and the development of statistical analysis tools.

Short bio: I am computer science engineer by training. During my undergraduate studies I acquired programming skills and numerical simulation expertise. I pursued a PhD in neuro-engineering at the Italian Institute of Technology (IIT) in Genoa, which involved the analysis of experimental data from cultures of dissociated neurons, the development of software statistical analysis tools and the mathematical modeling and computer simulation of neuronal networks. During my post-doctoral period at the Université Pierre et Marie Curie (UPMC) in Paris, I have been investigating information neurotransmission in the somatosensory system by developing a software architecture comprising two computational models of neuronal networks and a classification module based on machine learning techniques. In recent years, I also served as system administrator in the host laboratories and was awarded with two grants for the use of high performance computational resources on institutional clusters based on parallel computing architectures.

Keywords: human avatars, motion capture, eye tracking, aging, data analysis, software development
