Milan, Lombardia, Italy

My career path reflects a strong commitment to advancing medical knowledge through research, clinical training, and multidisciplinary collaboration, with a particular focus on cardiovascular imaging and data science in medicine. I am currently a PhD Student in the Programme in Data Science in Medicine, within the track of Molecular and Experimental Medicine and Applied Clinical Research at Humanitas University in Milan, Italy. My doctoral work, spanning from November 2024 to November 2027, aims to integrate advanced imaging analytics, artificial intelligence, and clinical data to improve diagnostic precision and translational research in cardiovascular medicine. This program provides a rigorous and stimulating environment, allowing me to build a solid foundation in scientific methodology while contributing to innovative projects at the intersection of technology and clinical practice.
Complementing my doctoral training, I am serving as a Visiting Research Fellow at the Mayo Clinic in the Department of Radiology in Rochester, Minnesota, from September 2024 to September 2025. Within Dr. Tim Leiner’s laboratory—an internationally recognized center for cardiovascular imaging—I am fully engaged in advanced research activities, primarily focused on cardiac MRI. My work involves exploring emerging MRI techniques, AI-based image analysis, and potential diagnostic biomarkers for cardiac disease. This experience has allowed me to collaborate closely with engineers, radiologists, cardiologists, and data scientists, enriching my understanding of translational imaging research and strengthening my contribution to ongoing international publications. Being part of such a dynamic and multidisciplinary environment has significantly broadened my scientific perspective and deepened my commitment to innovation in cardiovascular imaging.
Throughout my academic career, I have actively shared my research through several oral presentations at national and international conferences. At SIRM 2024 in Milan, I presented a study on the prevalence and clinical significance of Mitral Annulus Disjunction in a large cohort of patients undergoing cardiac MRI. At ECR 2024 in Vienna, I discussed the predictive role of post-procedural CT in device-related tricuspid regurgitation among patients with implantable cardiac devices. In 2023, I presented clinical and research work at the “Bleeding Patient: From Diagnosis to Treatment” congress in Novara and at the “Cardio X” congress in Modena, focusing respectively on a complex case of infective cardiac perforation and on the impact of deep learning versus adaptive iterative reconstructions in cardiac CT. These experiences strengthened not only my scientific communication skills but also my ability to translate complex findings into clinically meaningful insights.
My academic background is rooted in my medical training at the University of Campania “L. Vanvitelli,” where I graduated with a Master's degree in Medicine and Surgery with the highest honors (110/110 cum laude) in October 2021. My experimental thesis explored the protective effects of oleuropein on the peritoneal membrane in an in vivo model of peritoneal dialysis, marking my early interest in translational research.
