Biography

I am a PhD candidate in Bioengineering and Medical-Surgical Sciences at Politecnico di Torino, Italy, with a solid academic and research background in biomechanics. My work is centered on the development and optimization of components for next-generation in vitro diagnostic (IVD) instruments. Through the integration of computational modeling, 3D printing, rapid prototyping, and experimental testing, I aim to improve the mechanical precision, stability, and overall performance of diagnostic systems used in clinical laboratories.
Currently, I am actively collaborating with an international company specializing in laboratory diagnostics and immunodiagnostic technologies. This collaboration allows me to work on real-world applications and contribute directly to the innovation and refinement of diagnostic instruments that support high-throughput testing environments.
My research involves both theoretical and practical methodologies. I bring strong analytical skills and hands-on experience in experimental design, coupled with proficiency in engineering software tools such as finite element modeling (FEM), computer-aided design (CAD), multibody simulation platforms, and MATLAB. My ultimate goal is to contribute meaningfully to the advancement of biomedical technologies that enhance diagnostic accuracy, efficiency, and patient care.
