About me

I am an interdisciplinary scientist with experience in organic electronic materials, organic bioelectronics, and materials chemistry. My research is driven by the need for materials and device designs that provide better performance (e.g., for sensing), with a particular focus on bioelectronic applications, and improve the long-term impact of modern technological products.

I am a chemist as a background, with a M.Sc. in chemistry from Pavia University (Italy). As a young student interested in research, I worked with the groups of Luigi Casella (Pavia), Ebbe Nordlander (Lund) and Ivan Castillo (Mexico City) with a project focused on bioinorganic chemistry.

In 2012 I moved to Linköping to do a PhD in "Biomolecular and Organic Electronics" under the supervision of Prof. Olle Inganäs. At the beginning of 2017, just after finishing my PhD, I moved to Australia where I had the chance to work with Prof. Damia Mawad group at the University of New South Wales (UNSW, Sydney) and with Prof. Gordon Wallace at the Intelligent Polymer Research Institute (University of Wollongong).

Supporting yourself as a young researcher can be challenging. I was granted my first funding in 2018 to join Mawad Lab at UNSW under the " International Postdoc" grant from the Swedish Research Council in partnership with Herland Lab at KTH. In 2020, I moved back to Sweden and joined Herland Lab at KTH Royal Institute of Technology as a researcher. My quest to support my research endeavors continued, and from 2021 to 2023 I was Marie Curie Fellow with the project "Bioresorbable Organic Electronic Devices (BioResORGEL)".

Since September 2023, I joined the Department of Materials and Environmental Chemistry as an Assistant Professor supported by the WISE Materials program.

Openings for PhD and postdoc positions in my group:

PhD student in Sustainable Biomedical Devices
Project title: Biodegradable pressure sensors

Transient technologies aim to ensure that all device components degrade after the intended use into non-toxic and even biologically friendly products. Key challenges are to develop materials that combine compatibility with fabrication processes, stable performance in environmental and/or physiological conditions (humidity, temperature, etc.), and safe biodegradation into non-toxic products. The project aims to develop organic bioelectronic devices that combine the properties needed for efficient function with a route for biodegradation in biological environments. The work is highly interdisciplinary, including materials development, device fabrication, and evaluation. It will address several research challenges, from fabrication of biomedical devices using degradable components to device operation for the timeframe required by the application, and materials degradation at physiological conditions after the device lifecycle.
