Biography

In September 2020, she earned her bachelor's degree in biomedical engineering. Subsequently, in December 2022, she completed her master’s degree in biomedical Instrumentation. During her master's program, she developed a keen interest in the biomedical applications of electromagnetic fields. Motivated by her fascination with neuroscience and brain diseases, she chose to focus her master's thesis on a project involving a biomedical device utilizing microwave sensing technology for the early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease.
Following graduation, she has actively participated in a research project titled 'Development and realization of synthetic tissues for electromagnetic imaging and sensing applications.' Currently, she is dedicated to advancing her expertise by pursuing a Ph.D. in electrical, electronics, and communications engineering at DET. Her research focuses on further exploring the potential applications of electromagnetic fields in biomedical contexts, with a particular emphasis on the dielectric characterization of materials for the creation of phantoms and the development of imaging algorithm for monitoring brain strokes through microwaves.
