Personal Background:
Born and raised in Rome, Italy. Proud Italian, but always down to learn from other cultures and broaden my horizons.
Study Background:
I pursued both my Bachelor's and Master's degrees at Roma Tre University. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering and a Master's degree in Biomedical Engineering. During my Master's, I developed a passion for Biomechanics, which led me to complete an internship and write my Master's thesis at Foro Italico University of Rome, a university specializing in motor science.
Other research experience prior to TReND:
Bachelor’s Thesis at Roma Tre University: Spectral Analysis of Vocal Signals Across Different Populations.
Internship at Foro Italico University: Neuromuscular Mechanisms underlying Motor Coordination in Older Adults during Dynamic Balance Control.
Master’s Thesis: Characterization of Kinematic Synergies on Functional Reach Test.
