Post-Doctoral at IIT@Sapienza–Center for Life Nano Science
PhD in Science of Materials cum laude (2011)

Physicist with a strong background in optics, microscopy, and complex phenomena. Her research draws from several fields (microscopy, neural networks, and systems neuroscience) and techniques (calcium imaging, multisensory stimulation, parallel computing, and machine learning) that she has combined throughout the years.

Since 2018, her research was mainly focused on studies at the interface between physics and neuroscience, with neural network modeling of brain wiring and functions both in artificial NNs and in biological systems (C.elegans nervous system).

She is currently working as a project manager of D-Tails, where she manages and coordinates a multidisciplinary team to develop a C-elegans based biosensor for the early detection of cancer in urine samples.
