As Device Lead I drive large technical work programs with a cross-functional team. I provide technical project management of all aspects of the design process. I work with other members of the product development and extended technical teams to translate product requirements into product specifications. I indentify and evaluate external partners (consultants, laboratories, goods suppliers) in collaboration with relevant QA departments. I actively participate in multidisciplinary processes… Show more As Device Lead I drive large technical work programs with a cross-functional team. I provide technical project management of all aspects of the design process. I work with other members of the product development and extended technical teams to translate product requirements into product specifications. I indentify and evaluate external partners (consultants, laboratories, goods suppliers) in collaboration with relevant QA departments. I actively participate in multidisciplinary processes (design and process risk assessment) to identify and assess risks and to determine mitigations and controls related to the product design and manufacturing processes. I manage the design transfer of all specifications, design and development history documentation from R&D to GMD. I support design verification testing activities Show less

The six-month project, towards completion of Master Thesis, has been developed in collaboration with a team of cardiologist and engineers that work on the research of innovative treatments for cardiac diseases. The work was to evaluate the fluid-dynamic performances of a novel aortic valve by means of both computational fluid-dynamic simulations (CFD) and in-vitro hydrodynamics testing methods. A patient-specific 3D anatomy of the heart was also built with image processing technique to prove… Show more The six-month project, towards completion of Master Thesis, has been developed in collaboration with a team of cardiologist and engineers that work on the research of innovative treatments for cardiac diseases. The work was to evaluate the fluid-dynamic performances of a novel aortic valve by means of both computational fluid-dynamic simulations (CFD) and in-vitro hydrodynamics testing methods. A patient-specific 3D anatomy of the heart was also built with image processing technique to prove the effectiveness of the CFD model. Master Thesis title: “Experimental and computational assessment of a novel sutureless bioprosthetic aortic valve”.The work has been published in the “Cardiovascular Engineering and Technology” scientific journal.
