I am a researcher at the Institute for Biomedical Engineering of the Italian National Research Council (IsIB-CNR). My research interest is the application of accelerator architectures and molecular dynamics to the modeling of the endocrine system, including unstructured protein-protein and protein-drug interactions (see e.g. videos and pictures from simulations on the hERG channel).

My research background includes statistical learning, software and device engineering, and high-performance architectures for biomedical research. I was formerly with the Laboratory for Biomedical Informatics of the University of Pavia, where I conducted research on telemedicine and adaptive human-computer interaction for patient care, including wearable sensors (e.g. MyHeart) and speech interfaces (e.g. AdaRTE, Homey). I have a degree in Physics (University of Pisa, 2001) and a PhD in Bioengineering and Bioinformatics (University of Pavia, 2005).
