With a background in bioengineering, I obtained the European PhD title (Doctor Europaeus, Joint International Doctorate, University of Rome “Roma Tre” and University of Sussex) in Applied
Electronics in 2017, defending a thesis on the use of network models for characterising non-invasive brain stimulation. In the same year, I moved to London to work as a Research Associate
at University College London (UCL) on multimodal application of brain MRI. In 2019 I was awarded a Sir Henry Wellcome Fellowship from the Wellcome Trust to fund the project “BaMBoo: Building a Meaningful Biomarker of Myelin”, of which I have been principal investigator. Within this project, I worked at the University of Sussex, the École Polytechnique in
Montreal and the Cardiff University Brain Research Imaging Centre (CUBRIC). After the experiences abroad, in 2022 I was awarded a Starting Grant from the Italian National Institute of
Health proposing the project “Development of network-based biomarkers for the assessment of Alzheimer’s disease through non-invasive brain stimulation”.
Since 2024, I am a researcher at CREF in the research line “Neuroscience and Quantitative Neuroimaging” and I collaborate with the Santa Lucia Foundation in Rome. My research interests
include quantitative and diffusion MRI for the study of the human brain, network models in neuroscience, and in general the interplay between structure and function.
My updated CV is available on my blog, NeuroSnippets.
