MSCA PhD Fellow at the Embedded Systems Engineering (ESE) section of DTU Compute, conducting research in the Internet of Underwater Things (IoUT). Currently focusing on the development of energy-autonomous underwater communication systems that can operate reliably in challenging marine environments
The project investigates underwater communication architectures that use an optical link both to recharge the system and to decode incoming light signals for information exchange. This approach boosts the responsiveness of underwater networks by providing higher data rates and lower latency compared to conventional acoustic-only communication, while also enabling battery-free operation. This reduces maintenance requirements and provides a more practical and sustainable solution for underwater networks. To support this vision, a prototype underwater module is being developed around a dual-mode solar panel capable of switching between energy harvesting and optical communication.
The broader ambition of this research is to advance the next generation of IoUT technologies and support applications such as climate monitoring, aquaculture, environmental sensing, and port-scale digitalisation.
Prior to joining DTU, academic training included a background as a Computer Engineer holding a Double MSc awarded through a joint program between Politecnico di Torino and Grenoble INP – Phelma. The program at Politecnico di Torino (LM-32) focused on advanced methodologies in Software Engineering, while the specialisation at Grenoble INP – Phelma emphasised Embedded Systems and Connected Devices (SEOC)
