About

My academic and professional background brings together training in communication and media studies, philosophy, and cognitive robotics, culminating in an International PhD in Bioengineering and Robotics and subsequent postdoctoral and visiting research positions at leading international institutions. Across these roles, I worked on complex technological domains including artificial intelligence, robotics, and human–machine interaction, operating in structured environments that required rigorous planning, precise documentation, adherence to procedures, and close collaboration with diverse experts. This experience has trained me to manage complex workflows with strong attention to detail and to translate technically demanding content into clear, structured outputs for different audiences.
A significant part of my research activity has involved the careful organization, analysis, and presentation of experimental data in support of peer-reviewed research outputs. Through this work, I have developed a solid record of scholarly publications, which required a high level of precision, methodological rigor, and attention to detail throughout the entire research process. My professional experience also includes a strong focus on communication. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Communication and Media Languages and am currently completing a one-year postgraduate professional course in Science Communication that complements my academic and research background. The course is focused on scientific journalism, institutional communication, digital media, and the management of communication plans within research organizations and public institutions. This training strengthens my ability to contribute effectively to dissemination activities, communication outputs, and cross-sector collaboration. Working at the crossroads of different disciplines, my professional experience has required me to communicate complex technical and scientific content with precision, both to specialist audiences and to non-expert stakeholders in interdisciplinary environments, ensuring that key information is conveyed clearly while remaining technically sound.

I am confident that my combination of analytical skills, research experience, and communication expertise would allow me to add value to the Twine team.
