Personal profile
Biography
I am a Biomedical Engineer with strong interests in the areas of medical instrumentation and physiological data processing. I had the fortune to work in Industry and Academia gaining knowledge and insights from both worlds.
My Lab is always looking for talented and motivated candidates for very challenging and rewarding PhD and Postdoc positions.
Research Interests
My research is focussed on understanding how biomedical engineering can help to improve quality of life and clinical outcomes. I am developing techniques and technologies for a wide range of applications: from wearable medical devices to rehabilitation treatments, from biometric recognition to driver safety.
Currently, I am investigating the use of proprioceptive stimulation (Whole Body and Focal Vibration) in healthy and pathological subjects with regards to motor functions and balance control.
I collaborate with various SMEs on the design, development and testing of cutting edge medical devices through our Biomedical Engineering Clinic and the College's Industry club.
