Something about me…
After completing my Master’s degree in Bioengineering, with a focus on Neuroengineering and Neurotechnologies, I was inspired by my passion for research to embark on an academic journey, starting with a research fellowship. My academic path, which includes projects such as biosignal analysis in autistic children and 3D imaging for pediatric patients with thoracic deformities, demonstrates my commitment to applying engineering solutions to healthcare challenges. This research fellowship within the STOPme project provides a unique opportunity to merge my technical skills with my passion for biomedical innovation.
Research projects
- “Supporting Termination Of stereotyPies in patients with rett syndroME by advanced ambient intelligence – STOPme”. STOPme is a cascade PNRR project, realized in the framework of the project “RAISE – Robotics and AI for Socio-economic Empowerment”, funded by the EU – Next Generation EU RAISE – on funds by PNRR MUR – M4C2 Investimento 1.5
