I am an early career researcher with extensive experience in developing instrumentation for medical and biological applications. I have worked on many projects in large multi-disciplinary and translational collaborations, benefiting from the broad spectrum of expertise as well as learning to collaborate across different disciplines to achieve a common objective. My research has been at the interface between academia and industry, and I have been able to engage directly in the full instrument development cycle: from a research idea to proof of concept, and finally to product development.

During my PhD at the University of Surrey, I contributed to the development of large-area CMOS sensors, at a time when they were just started being translated from the consumer market to scientific applications. I built my postdoctoral experience in developing imaging instrumentation to support image-guided proton beam therapy for which I am one of the inventors on two awarded patents and the lead inventor on a third one.

Looking for a new challenge, in 2020 I changed my research field and moved to UCL where, as a member of the Advanced X-ray Imaging (AXIM) group, I focused on the development on novel phase-based imaging instrumentation for soft tissue imaging.
