Biography
He achieved his Bachelor’s degree in Materials Engineering at Politecnico di Torino in October 2015 with the research thesis: “Liquid Crystalline Polymers and Their Applications as Technical Textiles”.
In March 2018, he achieved his Master’s degree in Materials Engineering at Politecnico di Torino, writing the experimental thesis: “Development of Polymeric Materials as Gas Sensors”.
This thesis was developed with a six months joint program between Politecnico di Torino and IBM Research Center in Almaden, California.
Since November 2018, he is a Ph.D. candidate in Electrical, Electronics and Communications Engineering at the Department of Applied Science and Technology (DISAT) working actively in the Materials and Microsystems Laboratory in Chivasso (ChiLab) under the supervision of Prof. Fabrizio Pirri, Prof. Matteo Cocuzza and Prof. Marco Sangermano.
His research activity is focused on both the development and synthesis of novel UV photocurable polymeric materials, and the fabrication at the micro and nano scale and electrical characterization of electronic devices as gas sensors. For this reason, a custom-made sensing setup was engineered in order to produce and deliver selected concentrations of solvent vapors to the samples housed in a stainless steel assembly, ensuring the reliability and goodness of the results.
