About me

Hello there! My name is Matteo and I’m a PhD student in Data Science

I obtained my B.Sc. in Computer Science from the University of L’Aquila in 2021, and my M.Sc. in Computer Science from Sapienza University in 2023. I am currently working as a PhD student under the supervision of professor Fabio Galasso @ PINLab.

Publications

LEGO (2025)

LEGO trains robots on simple “toy” objects (spheres, cuboids, cylinders, rings) to achieve 67% grasping success on real YCB objects through object-centric visual representations and zero-shot generalization.

Work done during internship @ItalAI, with Panasonic R&D and the BAIR Lab

MonSTeR (ICCV 2025)

MonSTeR is the first MOtioN-Scene-TExt Retrieval model aligning motion, textual intention, and scene context in a unified latent space, enabling robust cross-modal retrieval and zero-shot tasks.

PNRR PRIN RightNets (2025)
