Biography
Benito earned his bachelor’s degree in Electronic Engineering at La Sapienza of Rome following its special ”Path of Excellence”. Here He learnt to analyse complex analog electronic circuits, the basics of antennas and electromagnetic and acoustic fields, the theory of signals, the electrics communication and measurements. He moved to Turin to major in digital electronics where He earned its master’s degree in Electronic Engineering with Embedded Systems programme in Politecnico di Torino. He learnt to design embedded systems, the basics of operating systems and firmware developing, the digital projecting skills with VHDL language and its verification, the basics of IoT systems, electromagnetic guiding and electromagnetic compatibility. In his experience at the Harvard Medical School Motion Analysis Lab He explored various application of engineering in a healthcare setting that inspired him to pursue a doctorate to develop a Point Of Care Technology (POCT) device for stroke prevention and treatment.
