She was born in Genova, Italy, on the 30th of July 1976. She received her Laurea degree in Computer Engineering from the University of Genova on April 23rd 2002, with a thesis on analysis of expressive gesture in human full-body movement. She received her PhD in Computer Science Engineering in May 2006. At the moment she works at the DIST - InfoMus Lab of the University of Genova. Her work focuses on modeling and real-time analysis and synthesis of expressive content in dance and human movement.
