During my bachelor and master in Physics at the University of Torino (Italy) and one year as Erasmus student at the University Joseph Fourier in Grenoble (France) I had the opportunity to develop my interest for physics applied to live science. I did a joined PhD between two CNRS labs in Grenoble under the supervision of Catherine Villard (Néel Institute) and Alice Nicolas (Laboratory of Technologies of Microelectronics, LTM). I worked on primary brain cell growth and response in in vitro controlled systems, focusing on neuronal polarization and glial cell sensitivity to mechanical properties of their environment. I am a Post-Doc in the Roux Lab since February 2015, working on epithelium mechanics.
