Ricerca

In my PhD path, I am investigating artificial organs for the lower urinary system, specifically about the suitable geometry and materials, as well as the actuation, powering and control strategies.
The activities are within the BioSUP project of INAIL (the Italian Institution for Insurance against Job Injuries).
