Tongue-Trackpad
A wireless intra-oral wearable platform for quantitative tongue assessment and precision visual-feedback rehabilitation of neurologically impaired individuals following stroke and traumatic brain injury.
I develop wearable medical devices by combining electronics, embedded systems, mechanical prototyping, physiological sensing, verification, data analysis, and clinical research.
I studied biomedical engineering in Pescara and Milan before joining UIC, where I worked across PCB design, embedded electronics, prototyping, human studies, and biosignal analysis.
I enjoy turning clinical and user needs into functional systems that can be built, tested, and improved.
My experience developed from flexible electronics and additive manufacturing to miniaturized intra-oral devices, embedded sensing, and clinical evaluation.
I work at the intersection of hardware, product development, biomedical research, and real-world testing. My projects span mixed-signal PCB design, sensor integration, firmware, CAD, prototyping, verification, data processing, and collaboration with clinical teams.
Pescara → Milan → Chicago. An academic path from flexible electronics and biomedical engineering in Italy to wearable-device development and clinical research in the United States.
My background is relevant to hardware development, product development, biomedical engineering, clinical engineering, manufacturing support, and verification.
Authorized to work in the United States under F-1 OPT and eligible to work across the European Union.
Developed wearable medical-device hardware through PCB design, embedded electronics, capacitive sensing, BLE, mechanical integration, prototyping, testing, and iterative redesign.
Supported IRB-approved clinical evaluations, device operation, signal-integrity checks, on-site data collection, and quantitative analysis of rehabilitation outcomes.
Conceived and developed a multimodal intra-oral monitoring platform integrating pressure, PPG, force, IMU sensing, BLE, haptics, battery management, and wireless charging.
Mentored 95+ students from multiple disciplines through the development of wearable devices and user interfaces.
Developed a flexible sEMG electrode array and characterized Aerosol Jet Printing parameters for biomedical flexible electronics.
