Education

I pursued my passion for computer engineering at the esteemed University of Catania, where I completed my Bachelor's degree in 2007. During my academic journey, I specialized in the fascinating field of Industrial Automation Systems. One of the defining moments of my education was the completion of my thesis, which was conducted in a corporate environment.

For my thesis, I delved into the captivating realm of robotics. The topic was "Development of an Autopilot Using Kalman Filtering Applied to an Inertial Platform for an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle." This research involved the creation of an autopilot system that utilized advanced Kalman filtering techniques, integrated with an inertial platform, for the control of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). This project allowed me to apply my theoretical knowledge to real-world applications and gain invaluable hands-on experience.

My educational journey not only equipped me with a solid foundation in computer engineering but also provided me with the opportunity to engage in practical, industry-relevant research, setting the stage for my subsequent career in the field.
