I achieved my Bachelor’s Degree in Chemical and Food Engineering at Politecnico di Torino in 2019 and then I decided to pursue my studies in Materials Engineering at the same institute. My Master’s Thesis was focused on the development of bio-based photocurable hydrogels containing bioactive glasses enriched with therapeutic ions for the treatment of skin diseases (e.g. psoriasis). Once graduated, in 2021 I worked as a research fellow at the development of a recycling route for the sustainable recovery of lanthanum and cobalt from the cathodes of End-of-Life Solid Oxide Fuel Cells, in the context of Best4Hy project (funded by EU Horizon 2020). In November 2022, I joined IRIS group as a Ph.D. student involved in the activities of the Horizon Europe project REBORN. Within this framework, my studies are focused on the development of smart nanocarriers for the ultrasound-triggered release of drugs.
