Biography

After earning a Bachelor's degree in Biomedical Engineering from the Polytechnic University of Turin, he pursued a Master's degree in Biomedical Instrumentation. He completed the program with a thesis entitled 'Dielectric Characterization and Design of a Non-Static Multitissue Phantom for Microwave Brain Stroke Monitoring,' supervised by Professor Francesca Vipiana.
Currently, is a Ph.D. candidate at the Department of Electronics and Telecommunications (DET) of the Polytechnic University of Turin. His doctoral research is conducted under the supervision of Professor Francesca Vipiana, Dr. Giuseppe Virone (CNR IEIIT), and Professor Jorge Tobon Vasquez. His research interests primarily revolve around the utilization of Terahertz (THz) band electromagnetic waves for medical applications.
