Federico was born in Padua (Italy) in 1995.
He obtained his high school diploma in July 2014 from Istituto Don Bosco (Padua) with first-class honours (Italian mark: 100/100), with a thesis focusing on biomedical science.
In July 2017, he received the BSc degree in Information Engineering with first class honours (italian mark: 110/110) from the University of Padua, with an experimental thesis on knots in proteins entitled “The Gaussian Entanglement, a new approach in the study of the topological correlation between protein chains” (Supervisor: Prof. Marco Baiesi).
In October 2019, he received the MSc degree in Bionics Engineering with first class honours (italian mark: 110/110 cum laude) at the University of Pisa and Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna (Pisa, Italy), with an experimental thesis entitled “Development and characterization of a calibration algorithm for a myokinetic interface for prosthetic control” (Supervisors: Prof. Christian Cipriani and Dr. Edoardo Sinibaldi).
In July 2023, he obtained the Phd in Biorobotics (cum laude) at the Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna in the Artificial Hands research area (Supervisor: Prof. Christian Cipriani, External supervisor: Dr. Edoardo Sinibaldi), with an experimental thesis entitled “The Myokinetic Interface: magnetic tracking and actuation for the restoration of dexterous control and proprioceptive feedback in transradial amputees“. His research activity during the PhD included his involvement in different national and European research projects, including the ERC Starting Grant Myki.
From March 2020 until June 2022, he was also a MATLAB Student Ambassador for the University of Pisa and Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna, working part-time for The MathWorks, Inc.
From July 2023 until September 2023, he was a Postdoctoral researcher at the Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna in the Artificial Hands research area. Since October 2023, he has been a Postdoctoral researcher in the Aries Lab working for Professor Lorenzo Masia. He spent one year at Heidelberg University (until November 2024) and then joined the Technical University of Munich in December 2024.
In April 2024, he was awarded the prestigious Marie Skłodowska Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship for the project SCOUT: Soft Magnetic Exoskin Transducing Human Motion.
He has authored many research papers in international journals, such as IEEE Transactions on Neural System and Rehabilitation Engineering, IEEE Sensors, Journal of Neural Engineering, Current Opinion in Biomedical Engineering, Advanced Science and Science Robotics.
His research interests are Magnetic Sensing, Wearable Robotics, and Collaborative Robotics.
