In March 2023, I obtained the Master’s degree in Biomedical Engineering from Politecnico di Torino, after having worked on my Master’s thesis project under the supervision of Prof. Chiara Vitale Brovarone.   

During my Master's degree I chose the path focused on Bionanotechnology and I have dedicated myself to working on the experimental thesis aiming at the development of formulations based on collagen, chitosan and silk fibroin to realise scaffolds through 3D printing for potential use in the regeneration of skin injuries.   

In April 2023, I joined the IRIS group as a research fellow, and I am currently working on the design and development of natural polymer-based formulations for seed coating by electrospinning to enable the incorporation and delivery of plant growth-promoting microorganisms (PGPM). I am also working on the use of natural polymer-based formulations to realise a solid electrolyte by electrospinning technique for lithium batteries. Furthermore, I am involved in the frame of the REBORN project funded by the Horizon Europe programme, dealing with the synthesis of polymeric nanoparticles based on polylactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) and loaded with anti-inflammatory and antifibrotic drugs.
