Federico Vasile

I'm a PhD student at Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia, in the Humanoid Sensing and Perception (HSP) group led by Lorenzo Natale. During my PhD journey, I spent six wonderful months visiting UC San Diego, where I worked with Prof. Xiaolong Wang.

My research lies at the intersection of Computer Vision, Robotics and Prosthetics. I develop algorithms for autonomous hand prosthesis control from visual input, aiming to improve the quality of life of amputees.
