Led MedTech and rehabilitation product development at Rehabilia Technologies, coordinating requirements, prototyping, validation, documentation, and stakeholder feedback. Validated product decisions through user research and usability testing while supporting lifecycle choices focused on usability, safety, technical feasibility, and regulatory readiness.

Collaborated with clinicians, engineers, and researchers to design, prototype, and test sensor-based MedTech rehabilitation systems. Designed, fabricated, and assembled 10+ functional prototypes using SolidWorks, Fusion 360, and 3D printing, and contributed CE-oriented documentation with risk-based design considerations.

Processed 3D scan data for MedTech, automotive, and extreme-sports projects using FARO Freestyle, generating optimized meshes and point clouds that improved model accuracy by 40%. Converted scans into parametric CAD files (Geomagic and SolidWorks) and validated STL vs STEP files before production while coordinating timelines and deliverables with stakeholders.

PhD candidate in Mechanics and Advanced Engineering Sciences focused on IoT-based multimodal context-aware systems. Combines human-centered experience, sensor-based interaction, and rehabilitation principles.

Mobility study in Experimental Psychology at Utrecht University. Topic: Sensory navigation profile, a tool to predict successful use of sensory information.

Mobility study in Information networking for innovation at Toyo University. Topic: User-Centric Feedback Adaptation System (UCFAS) analyzing feedback influences on user behavior in navigation tasks.

MSc in Design & Engineer at Politecnico di Milano. Topic: Next-generation ultrasonic CMU dental biofilm remover (WashB), including user research, functional prototyping, and product validation considerations.

Erasmus+ exchange at Chiba University. Human-centred design approach in collaboration with Fujitsu and Panasonic.

BSc in Industrial Design at Florence University. Covered foundation in research methodologies, development, and critical thinking.

High school studies in Computer Science at ITIS Luigi dell’Erba. Topics included mathematics, statistics, and programming languages such as C, C++, Java, and JavaScript.
