Report abuseAutonomous Systems Design Engineer • Research Fellow • USV Control and Simulation
I work on autonomous marine systems with a background in shipbuilding, ocean engineering, and mechatronics. My research and engineering focus on unmanned surface vehicles, control systems, path planning, system identification, Hardware-in-the-Loop environments, and real-time simulation.
I am currently a Research Fellow at the University of Genoa, developing simulation and control algorithms for collaborative maneuvering of marine vehicles.

This profile includes research and engineering repositories centered on autonomous marine systems, especially path planning, guidance, trajectory generation, and simulation for unmanned surface vehicles.
| Repository | Purpose | What it contains |
|---|---|---|
| marine-route-planning | Long-range route planning for autonomous surface vessels | C++ route planning workflows, supporting UI components, and software structure for marine mission-level planning |
| Curvelinear-path-planning-for-usv | Curvature-aware path generation for USVs | Path generation experiments, curvilinear planning logic, and trajectory construction focused on feasible marine motion |
| Visibility-Graph-Path-Planinng-with-MPC-for-USV | Combine global path planning with control-oriented tracking | Visibility-graph-based planning studies, MPC-oriented trajectory handling, and simulation code for obstacle-aware navigation |
| Curvelinear-trajectory-forecast | Forecast vessel motion along curved paths | Python-based simulation environment for dynamic and curvature-based trajectory prediction |
| RotaOptimaldsCpp | Receding-horizon route optimization and avoidance | CasADi/C++ optimization setup for waypoint tracking, obstacle avoidance, and online route refinement; the Python branch also includes acados-based implementations |
| usv_LOS_path_tracking | LOS guidance and path tracking for a USV platform | Line-of-sight tracking implementation, cubic path generation utilities, and supporting guidance/controller scripts |
| Maritime-Autonomous-Systems-Simulator | Marine autonomy simulator framework | Simulation infrastructure for autonomous maritime systems, control experiments, and scenario-based development |
These repositories reflect a common workflow: generate a feasible route, shape it into a trackable trajectory, evaluate it in simulation, and close the loop with guidance and control algorithms.
