Master's student at University of Rome 'La Sapienza', Italy

My current work is focused on the design and fabrication of microfluidic devices for assaying the role of particle deformability on flow properties. The particles of interest are polymeric microcapsules based on calcium-crosslinked chitosan and polyelectrolyte complexes. I am also designing a hydrodynamic trap that will be used to directly measure the rigidity of elastic membranes of soft particles.
