I am a Doctoral Researcher at Tampere University in Finland working in the field of developmental robotics. I have a multidisciplinary background gathering developmental psychology, neuroscience, philosophy and AI. The focus of my research is in autonomous skill discovery and open-ended learning in robotics.
