I am an Associate Professor at the University of Padova, Italy, where I work in robotics, control systems, and artificial intelligence.
My journey with meditation began over 15 years ago, during a particularly challenging period of my life. What started as a search for support and understanding gradually became something much deeper: a way to explore my own mind, relate differently to difficult thoughts and emotions, and discover a greater sense of openness toward life.
Over the years, my practice has been deeply influenced by Tibetan contemplative traditions. I have come to appreciate meditation not simply as a technique for relaxation or stress reduction, but as an opportunity to understand ourselves more deeply and develop a different relationship with our experiences. Rather than always trying to change or control what we feel, meditation invites us to be present with life as it unfolds, including its difficulties and uncertainties.
This personal journey also inspired me to deepen my understanding through formal studies. I completed a Master's program in Contemplative Studies at the University of Padova, exploring meditation from both scientific and contemplative perspectives.
I created meditation courses on Udemy out of a genuine wish to share something that has made a meaningful difference in my life. My hope is not simply to teach a set of techniques, but to encourage others to explore meditation through their own experience and discover what it may offer them.
