Giulia D'Angelo

Giulia D’Angelo is currently a Marie Skłodowska-Curie researcher at the Czech Technical University in Prague, where she focuses on neuromorphic algorithms for active vision, with applications in robotics. She obtained her bachelor's degree in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Genoa and her master's degree in Neuroengineering with honors. During her master's program, she developed a neuromorphic system for the egocentric representation of peripersonal visual space at King’s College London. She earned her PhD in neuromorphic algorithms at the University of Manchester, in collaboration with the Event-Driven Perception for Robotics research line at the Italian Institute of Technology, receiving the President’s Doctoral Scholar award from the University of Manchester, the highest recognition awarded to postgraduate researchers. In this context, she proposed a biologically plausible model for visual attention based on salience. Recently, she was awarded the prestigious European Marie Skłodowska-Curie research grant to further explore theories of sensorimotor contingencies in the field of neuromorphic algorithms for active vision in robotic systems.
