Hi, welcome to my homepage. Here you can find a description of my cv and activies.

Currently I'm a researcher at the InfoMus Laboratory, University of Genova, Italy. I work on automatic analysis of the expressive gesture.

I obtained my PhD in Computer Science in 2008 at the University of Paris 8, under the supervision of Pr. Catherine Pelachaud. I wrote a dissertation titled “Multimodal distinctive behavior for expressive embodied conversational agents” about the production of multimodal signals during conversation for Embodied Conversational Agents exhibiting distinctive beahvior. The pdf of the dissertation is available for sale here.

In 2003 I obtained my Master in Computer Science at the University of Rome “La Sapienza”. My master thesis was titled “Analisi e sintesi dei gesti comunicativi per gli agenti conversazionali”.

In the same year I participated to the EU-project MagiCster whose main goal was the creation of believable embodied conversational agents. I have been one of the main developer of the ECA system Greta while being a researcher at the University of Rome “La Sapienza” as well as at the University of Paris 8.

From 2004 to 2008 I participated to the Humaine NoE project working on a model of expressive behaviors.
