Biography

I received my PhD in Chemical Engineering at the University of Naples last April, under the supervision of Prof. Pier Luca Maffettone. During that period I was also a fellow at the Centre for Advanced Biomaterial for Healthcare  and visiting PhD student at University of Glasgow, working in strict contact with Dr. Manlio Tassieri. During this period I studied the effect of the fluid rheology on particle migration in square-shaped micro channels. In addition, during my period in Glasgow, I studied the use of optical tweezers in the microrheology of complex systems. Finally, we derived a novel method for measuring the fluid relaxation time through microfluidic flow. I joined this amazing group in December 2015 for my first Postdoc experience and I am currently working on the use of non-Newtonian fluids together with suspended cells for biomedical application. In addition, I am moving forward in the study of microfluidic techniques for deriving properties of complex fluids. Beside work, I like reading, travelling, meeting new people and sharing cultures. I like Salsa music and I am a piano player/composer.
