Work Experiences
Dates: Jan 2012-Apr 2015
Company: C.I.D. S.p.a.
Occupation: Technical employee in R&D dept. with the commission to study and develop geometries and processes to obtain a stent with innovative therapeutic target. Nitides Project Leader.
Main activities: Within R&D team and with its support I participated in making technical scouting in forefront laser technologies applying. I looked for national and international collaboration to test performance of such laser in cutting and engraving Nitinol alloy. I was involved in evaluation of different results in term of beam influence on cut edges and their response to extreme mechanical stresses. I coordinated activities of processes tuning relating to Nitinol response to different testing conditions. I provided creative collaboration to the team to reach good fatigue safety results for a new Nitinol stent having deep grooves in a proven pre-existent geometry. I started to support other elements of team to undertake certification path to obtain CE mark from Notified Body.
Jointly with four industrial and academic subjects, I prepared our participation to a next Regional funded call for a Project Proposal that is under evaluation at the present. I reduced my effort in coordinating activities of an ending project and of two other minor ones in their conclusive phases.
Dates: Sep 2009-Dic 2011
Company: C.I.D. S.r.l
Occupation: Technical employee in R&D dept.
Main activities: Management and coordination of activities pertinent to Regional and European funded projects. Main targets of projects: study and development of geometries and technical solutions for an innovative drag eluting stent (Active); Development of a proper biodegradable blended polymeric material suitable to make a bio-absorbable stent and following scouting to development of proper technologies to cut this material in the needed stent geometry (Nanostent). As end-user study, design and construction of an automated micro-factory to cut stent marker, to manage their moving and finally to pick & place them on stent attaching firmly to it.(BioMicrofab)
