Lorenzo Federici
I am currently a postdoctoral researcher in the Systems & Industrial Engineering department at the University of Arizona. My primary research interests revolve around applying artificial intelligence techniques to space engineering problems, with a particular focus on developing autonomous space systems through machine learning. During my PhD and postdoctoral work, I have gained substantial experience in research and have enjoyed mentoring undergraduate and graduate students on their theses. However, I have yet to gain formal teaching experience, which I believe is crucial for my goal of pursuing a career in academia as a faculty member. Through CITRL, I hope to learn effective instructional practices and acquire the teaching skills necessary to succeed as a professor, in addition to being a scientist.
