Featured work
Research projects

SMARTHEAL — Implantable Sensor System for Post-surgical Monitoring

EU-funded project developing implantable bioelectronics for real-time anastomotic healing monitoring after colorectal cancer surgery. Flexible sensor arrays with low-power wireless data transmission.

RAISE Walker — Smart Navigation for Visually Impaired People

A geoinformation application presented at IEEE ICCE-Berlin 2025, developed under the RAISE PNRR project — using AI and robotics for social empowerment.

Green Conformable PCB from Renewable Materials

Designed and characterised a fully bio-based, thermoformed printed circuit board sourced from renewable materials — published in ACS Applied Electronic Materials.

Biopolymer-based Composites for Soft Robotics

Research into bio-derived composite materials for actuators and structural elements in soft robotic systems — combining material science with hardware engineering.

Alongside my research, I've been learning iOS development

Under progress

R-S-P

Rock · Paper · Scissors

A clean, fast-paced take on the classic hand game. Smooth animations, score tracking, and a satisfying feel — designed with the same attention to detail I bring to hardware.

Background
About me

I'm a postdoctoral researcher at the Electronic Design Laboratory (EDL) at the Italian Institute of Technology in Genova. My work lives at the crossroads of hardware engineering, sustainable materials science, and biomedical applications.

Before joining IIT, I lectured at Islamic Azad University in Tehran and worked in the Power Electronics Lab. I hold a PhD in Bioengineering and Robotics from IIT / University of Genova, completed in 2024.

Outside the lab, I've been teaching myself iOS development — and shipped two App Store games in under two months. I believe the best engineers never stop building new things.
