About this user

Hello, my favorite hobby is magic tricks! Since 1998, I have worked in Italy in my hometown Terni in pubs, restaurants, children parties, ceremonies, theaters, and so on!

I studied Electronic Engineering at the University of Perugia (Italy) and after that I moved to Switzerland and finally the US (where I am now) to do a doctorate in Robotics! From 2004 to 2006, I have been in Lausanne, the French part of Switzerland, and I have worked as a magician after having learnt French. In September 2006, I moved to Zurich to work at ETH Zurich as a doctorate student. Later on I did a postdoctoral research at both ETH and the University of Pennsylvania. Since February 2012 I am professor of Robotics at the University of Zurich and I teach Master course on Mobile Robotics at both ETH and University of Zurich.

In my free time, I still train my magical skills and perform some shows at international congresses! Have a fun and do not forget to quote my videos ;-)!
