I graduated in Mechanical Engineering in 2007, at the University of Udine, Italy, with a thesis on the production of titanium biomedical scaffolds using electron beam melting. This sparked a deeper interest in the materials themselves, leading me to a postgraduate course in Metallurgical Engineering in 2008. In 2012, I was awarded a PhD in Industrial Engineering at the University of Padova. In 2014, I won the prestigious “Long-term fellowship” of the Japanese Society for the Promotion of Science, and I moved to the Kyoto Institute of Technology, in Japan. In 2017 I was appointed a guest professorship at the Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine, followed by an assistant professor position at the Kyoto Institute of Technology, in 2018. In 2022, I was promoted to associate professor and in 2024 I opened the new laboratory of biomaterials engineering. My research interests are focused on 3D printing of biomaterials, in particular metals and polymers or polymer matrix composites. My expertise in the field of biomaterials engineering has also been recognized by my appointment to the editorial boards of prestigious journals like “Materials & Design” and “Materials Today Bio
