• Software & Electronics Engineer- Smart wireless optical brain implant digital design and firmware development (IoT, C, ARM,Bluetooth, VHDL, PSoC);• Science & Technology Product Manager- Developing a hybrid Agile roadmap through translation of hardware development into software in the biomedical field;- Develop an Agile iterative engineering process based on SCRUM to coordinate software and hardware development coordinating efforts with neurobiologists, biotechnology engineers and electronic designers to define requirements and establish a roadmap of experiments and prototypes.• Biomedical Research Engineer- Neural stem cell monitored differentiation and growth;- Machine Learning algorithms development for establishing diagnosis criteria for impedance spectroscopy measurements (Python, TensorFlow);- Simulations of a multidomain model for the ionic electrodiffusion and osmosis processes in thebrain using (Python);Over the last four years I worked as a researcher in a co-joint private and public consortium with 14 other researchers accross 6 countries in a major EU project in order to develop tools, frameworks and strategies for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. The core objective of this project was to develop a smart wireless brain Implant to be used in pre-clinical studies on animals. We were able to establish bridges connecting biology, electronics, software and nano-fabrication efforts to make a prototype platform out of our project.Work developed as a PhD Research Fellow in Electronics and Biomedical Engineering at the Department of Physics of the University of Oslo within the Training4CRM program funded by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA).
