Envin ltd. is a start-up company whose main target is to bring technical innovation in the environmental sector. With the project PCBIS (Printed Circuit Board Innovative Solutions), we are planning to develop the first hydrometallurgical industrial plant in Italy for the direct recovering of pure metals from waste printed circuit boards. Up to now, we have won the local, the regional and the third place of the european EIT secondary raw materials business ideas competition.https://www.facebook.com/PCBIS/

Circular economy projects for waste valorization and resource reclamation. Supercritical fluid extraction and fractionation of fish oil from fish industry residuals. Omega-3 purification. Thermodynamic modeling. Process control design.

Study of the effect of operating parameters on capacitive electrodes for Reverse Electro-Dialysis and on Thermally Regenerative Ammonia Batteries.

Bio-electrochemical systems for energy gathering from wastewater.Development of optimal reactor configuration to overcome major Microbial Fuel/Electrolysis Cells (MF(E)C) drawbacks, such as low current density and system complexity. The possibility to use pure cultures of anaerobic facultative bacteria, such as Shewanella putrefaciens, are also explored. Exploiting the potential of MEC to realize in-situ electrochemical abatment of pollutants (Electro-Fenton and Direct oxidation).Skills: Planning, Data Analysis, in-line sensor systems, HPLC, Potentiostat, Total Organic Carbon Analisys, Cyclic Voltammetries, Spectroscopy, Lab security, aseptic technique

How inoculation, and early stages handling, influence final energy production and bacterial population in Microbial Fuel Cells. Different acclimatization procedures on different reactor configuration are being investigated. Supervisor: Prof. Manuel Andres Rodrigo Rodrigo.

A CNR - IMM spin-off project in collaboration with the CNR - IBFM. The aim of the work has been the study, characterization and prototyping of a microfluidic device for the separation of the Circulating Tumor Cells from the peripheral blood, thanks to different reaction to a superimposed dielectrophoretic field.

A scholarship for the education of high qualified researchers into the oncology field. Basis of biology, physics and engineering. Personal path aimed to the study of the High Intensity Focused Ultrasounds for the ablation of cancerous tissues. Generation, transduction, propagation and absorption of the ultrasounds, with the related thermal and mechanical effects.Thermal analysis of the MR-DICOM images based on the Proton Resonance Frequency (PRF) shift. Trial for skin burns assessment.A MatLab tool was developed for in vitro trials with the Magnetic Resonance guided Focused Ultrasound Surgery (MRgFUS).

Into the "Physical Agents" Operative Unit, under the guide of Dr. Antonio Sansone Santamaria, I learned how to realize professional acoustic impact assessment aligned with the existing laws , employing professional phonometric chains and environmental devices such as meteo stations and GPS positioning systems.I also had the chance to work into the vibrations assessment and into the electromagnetic fields characterization.
