Biografia

I’m an early-stage researcher who sees Bioengineering not just as a field of study, but as a meaningful way to contribute to human well-being.

Educated in the hybrid spirit of biomedical engineering, where disciplines meet, ideas evolve, and curiositas leads the way.
I graduated with honors in Medical Systems Engineering from Politecnico di Bari and in Biomechanical Engineering from Politecnico di Torino. During my academic journey, I gained hands-on experience through two key internships: a 3-month project focused on Computational Fluid Dynamics simulations of cerebral aneurysm hemodynamics at PoliBa and a 9-month internship at PoliTo, where I worked on Fluid-Structure Interaction simulations of coronary stenotic arteries. These experiences ignited my interest in personalized computational hemodynamics and in silico medicine within cardiovascular research, bridging computational methods and clinical applications.
In March 2024, I began my Ph.D. in Bioengineering and Medical and Surgical Sciences, contributing to the ASSOCIATE project—an AI-powered support system for ascending aorta aneurysms. More specifically, I’m designing and developing high-fidelity, biomechanics-informed, and patient-specific computational frameworks to support clinical decision-making in line with the principles of P4 medicine. My research is part of the broader field of digital twin technology, to create virtual replicas of the cardiovascular system capable of simulating individual patient responses and informing tailored therapeutic strategies. This work is also allowing me to deepen my expertise in simulation, modeling, and the intricate dynamics of cardiovascular physiology.

Something simple, but deeply personal.
What truly drives my research is the desire to end each day knowing I’ve done something, no matter how small, that could one day make a difference for someone else.

Beyond the 9-to-6 office.
Avid reader, dancer, and cook for my loved ones. There’s always beauty and complexity waiting to be discovered around us.
