Interdisciplinary education in Energy Engineering (MSc, Politecnico of Turin, 2013 and Milan, 2014) and Mechanical Engineering (PhD, ETH Zurich, 2017) is the key. Alongside the MSc, I was also selected for Alta Scuola Politecnica, an excellence program offered by Politecnico of Turin and Milan, focusing on the formation of talented engineers able to pursue complex innovation projects in a team work context, with the mission of combining in-depth (vertical) disciplinary knowledge with interdisciplinary (horizontal) skills. During the PhD at ETH Zurich, I focused on investigating the interaction of rationally microstructured surfaces with cells and tissues. During this time I performed reaserch that supported the development of the HYLOMORPH technology. I am author of several peer reviewed publications. My professional mission statement is “to combine engineering skills, open-mind and habit to work into a highly interdisciplinary environment to design and create technology with high impact on people’s health and life”.
