About

I am very interested in joining a consortium for HORIZON-CL5-2026-03-D2-02, focusing on direct recycling technologies for next-generation batteries. With over 7 years of experience in robotic testing, disassembly, and sorting of EV batteries, my work involves developing AI-driven robotics, vision-guided manipulation, and digital twin technologies for sustainable and circular manufacturing.

As a Co-PI of the Horizon Europe REBELION project, I have been at the forefront of integrating robotics and AI in battery disassembly, enabling safer, more efficient, and environmentally sustainable recycling processes. My expertise also extends to process automation, focusing on adaptive robotic systems that can seamlessly integrate with industrial-scale manufacturing facilities.
