Dr Giorgio-Serchi is a Chancellor’s Fellow in Robotics and Autonomous Systems, as part of the Data Driven Innovation Fellowship program. He conducts research on soft-bodied underwater vehicle design and propulsion, shape-changing vibrational systems and model-predictive control of unmanned underwater vehicles.

He holds a Laurea Degree (MSc equivalent) in Marine Science & Technology from the University of Pisa in 2006.

He was later awarded a Marie-Curie Early Stage Training (EST) Fellowship to undertake a PhD in Computational Fluid Dynamics jointly between the School of Earth and Environment and the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Leeds. His postgraduate research entailed the study of density-driven flows. In 2011 I was awarded a Marie-Curie European Reintegration Grant (ERG) to undertake a Research Fellowship in bioinspired aquatic propulsion at the Centre for Sea Technologies and Marine Robotics of the Biorobotics Institute, as part of the CFD-OctoProp project and the project PoseiDrone.
