I am Lorenzo D’Auria, born in Trieste (Italy) in 1997. At the end of my bachelor’s degree in Engineering in Electronics and Computer Science, I have understood that automation engineering is the IT topic I am most interested in. Therefore for my thesis work, I have chosen to develop from scratch a self-balanced inverted pendulum using a reaction wheel.
Following my passions, I have then moved to Rome to study AI and Robotics at Sapienza University. The experience of living on my own made me grow from a personal point of view, while the more practical approach found at Sapienza allowed me to refine other important skills such as teamwork, self-reliance, organization, and English as well. For my master thesis, I have decided to work on the development of an innovative safe navigation algorithm for UAVs obtaining very satisfactory results.
During 2022, I worked for Alten Italia as a System Engineer. More specifically, I was a part of the Leonardo Avionic Sensors Simulation team in Ronchi dei Legionari (GO), Italy as an external consultant. I was involved in the development of real-time systems for flight simulators, and I mainly worked with Visual Studio, GitLab, and the Qt Framework.
From January 2023 I am employed at Fincantieri, where I am part of the Digital Innovation team for the study and development of new solutions in the fields of Robotics, AI and IoT, with the goal of improving the shipyard efficiency and security. I mainly work with Python, C++, ROS, Azure, Git and Unix in general.
