    Artificial and Augmented sensing for humans and humanoids - Summer School

    This experience consisted of a series of lectures and practical activities on human somatosensation and the computational and technological methods to integrate sensing in robots.


    The program included:
    • Learning about somatosensory process mechanisms at the physical, behavioural, biomechanical, and neural levels, including implications for motor control and learning.
    • Understanding the artificial tactile-proprioceptive sensing and feedback.
    • Laboratories about the following topics: neurorehabilitation, prosthetics and sensory restoration, and robotics (humanoids and robot-assisted surgery).

    Biomedical Electronics - Module

    The syllabus of this module included:

    • Bio-signals and Bio-Potentials
    • Electrical Stimulation, Biochemical Sensing, Instrumentation, Energy Sources for Medical Devices
    • Wearable Medical Devices, Safety and regulatory aspects of Medical Devices
    • Genetic and Metabolic Systems, Neuro-prosthetics


    Some of the case studies I have been working on are Glucose sensors, Retinal and Cochlear Implants, and Brain Machine Interfaces.
    At the end of this module different, I was able to understand biomedical signals, their detection and processing, and to design circuits and systems for a given biomedical system specification.

    Biomedical Research - Work Shadowing

    I have been selected for a competitive stage at one of the biggest centres for medical research in the world. During this experience, I have assisted in the development of innovative technology for the cure of cancer (remote-controlled drug delivery implant using a nanochannel delivery system controlled remotely via Bluetooth technology) and diagnostics technologies such as Intra-Vital Imaging (IVI) Multi-Photon Imaging.
    Working with doctors and scientists from such a cutting-edge context helped me develop analytical and problem-solving skills needed in a research-oriented environment

    Medical Entrepreneurship Conference 2022 - Event

    As a member of the Imperial MedTech Society, I have attended multiple lectures and networking events revolving around the topics of Biomedical Technology and Medical Innovation.
    In particular, I have taken part in the Medical Entrepreneurship Conference in 2022, a formative event on the path to becoming an entrepreneur in the medical field, what are the areas that most need innovation and the approach to take when creating a start-up.
