A Biomedical engineer.
Personal CV
Professional Summary
Hi!
Here is Filippo writing.
I was born in Pistoia in 1996, but my parents early moved to Busto Arsizio, a small city close to Milan during my childhood. I've always been passionate and curious about almost everything involving problems and their solution and this has resulted in a vivid interest in scientific subjects.
Today, I am a biomedical engineer graduate student with a strong background in biomechanics and biomaterials. I am currently enrolled in a double degree program between the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC), USA, and Politecnico di Milano, Italy.
At the moment, I am employed as a volunteer researcher at Polo Tecnologico Fondazione Don Gnocchi, IRCCS "S. Maria Nascente", in Milan working at my MS thesis for Politecnico di Milano.

Work Experiences
Jan 2020 - Present
Fondazione Don Gnocchi, Milan
Graduate Research Student at wearable neuroprosthesis lab
The main aim of the project is the design and development of MeCFES, light wearable neuroprosthesis for upper limb rehabilitation of patient with reduced motility due to stroke or medullar lesion. In particular, I'll mainly focus on an wearable device that will help to automatically determine and adjust optimal parameters for the electrical stimulation.
In conclusion, the new version of the device will be tested on patients from spinal injury department of Niguarda hospital, Milan .

Aug 2019 - Jan 2020
Rush University Medical Centre, Chicago
Graduate Research Student at Orthopedic Surgery lab
Volunteer researcher for Master thesis' project.
The study mainly focus on TiN wearing properties for massive prostheses coating.
Debris production of Tin coated biomaterials has been assessed in order to evaluate the possibility to use this material for Hip prosthesis properties enhancement.
Formative relevance:
- Personal responsibility: work on a results-oriented project has been useful to power up this skill.
- Periodic report and presentation: all the results had been orally presented on a two weeks basis.
- Group work: all the results had been periodically shared, collecting advice and critics from the audience.
- Technical skills: scientific method has been refined and I also learn new competences (POD testing machines, Raman spectroscopy, Zygo profilometry, etc... )
