Short bio
I graduated from Politecnico of Milan (Italy) with a BSc in Mathematical Engineering in 2013 and a MSc in Computational Science and Engineering in 2016.
In September 2019 I obtained a PhD in applied mathematics at the University of Strasbourg (IRMA) in France. After my PhD I worked as Reseach Associate at the Department of Mathematics of Imperial College London (UK).
I currently hold a post-doc position within the team SIMBIOTX at the Inria Research Center Saclay Ile-de-France under the mentorship of Irene Vignon-Clementel.
Research Interest
My main passion and expertise is the synergy between applied mathematics and engineering, with a particular focus on computational models in electronics and biomathematics solved in a high performance computing framework.
In my current project I am performing a sensitivity analysis study on a mathematical model, which describes the hemodynamics of the cardiovascular system with particular emphasis on the liver. The aim is to use such model to give complementary information dedicated to surgical interventions in the liver.
