Andrea conducted his PhD thesis within The Interface Group between August 2019 and July 2024 after obtaining his master’s degree from Politecnico di Milano in Biomedical Engineering. For his master’s thesis, he utilized computational fluid dynamics to investigate haemodynamic characteristics of left ventricular assit devices (LVAD) and to evaluate LVAD thrombogenicity using a shear-mediated platelet activation model. His doctoral thesis revolves around the non-invasive acquisition of a surrogate for cranio-spinal compliance.
He defended his doctoral thesis, titled “Noninvasive Measurement of the Head’s Dielectric Properties: a Potential Approach for Assessing Craniospinal Compliance”, on July 11th, 2024.
