Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlessia Vignolo is a researcher with 11 years of experience specializing in computer vision and machine learning for human-robot interaction, currently driving innovation in Deep Digital Technologies at Leonardo. She earned a PhD in Bioengineering and Robotics from the University of Genoa after a double MSc in Advanced Robotics Engineering, and has held multiple research and postdoctoral roles at Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia and international visits including MIT and University of Maryland. Alessia combines hands-on algorithm development with HPC expertise from her tenure at Liguria Digitale, enabling scalable experimentation and deployment. Comfortable in multicultural teams, she pairs technical depth with leadership training from SDA Bocconi, and has a track record of integrating multimodal sensing (vision, tactile, IMU) in action-recognition research. An unusual strength is her blend of electronics engineering roots and business/management coursework, which helps her translate complex research into practical, interdisciplinary solutions.
