Biography
I am Professor of Biomedical Engineering at UCL Institute of Cardiovascular Science, GOS Institute of Child Health & Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children. After my Master degree in Engineering at Politecnico di Milano, I joined the Cardiorespiratory Unit of Great Ormond Street Hospital for a PhD programme sponsored by the British Heart Foundation. I obtained my PhD in 2008 when I was awarded a Royal Academy of Engineering/EPSRC Research Fellowship, and I was appointed as a Lecturer to UCL Institute of Cardiovascular Science in March 2013. I hold an ESPRC Healthcare Technologies Challenge Award and an ERC Starting Grant. Since 2011, I have been the lead for the Centre for Clinical Cardiovascular Engineering at the Institute of Cardiovascular Science, and since 2013 I have established with two clinical colleagues the Craniofacial Research Unit at GOS Institute of Child Health.
