PhD Students
Beatrice Lucia Bona was born in Managua in 1995 and was raised in Milan, where she obtained both her bachelor and master of science degrees in Biomedical Engineering (cell, tissue and biotechnology specialization). Her master thesis project was developed at the SupraBioNanoLab and it was focused on the synthesis and characterization of fluorinated theranostic nanovectors for gene delivery in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. In 2020 she started the PhD in Industrial Chemistry and Chemical Engineering at the “Politecnico di Milano” within a project aimed at developing nanosystems for controlled drug release in the diseased heart.
Eleonora Veronese was born in Cantù in 1995. She obtained her Master’s degree in Pharmacy and Industrial Pharmacy at the University of Milano working on peptide synthesis for theranostic nanosystems. After a scholarship in the department of Pharmaceutical Sciences at University of Milano, in October 2020 she started the PhD in Industrial Chemistry and Chemical Engineering at Politecnico di Milano, joining SupraBioNanoLab research group.
Pietro Milesi was born in Milan in 1996. He obtained both his Bachelor and Master of Science degrees in Materials Engineering and Nanotechnology at Politecnico di Milano, where he graduated with a thesis on the development of biocompatible nanoformulations containing perfluorocarbons for cell labelling, developed at the SupraBioNano group and in collaboration with the Research Institute of San Raffaele Hospital.In 2021 he started the PhD in Industrial Chemistry and Chemical Engineering at Politecnico di Milano with a project aimed at developing anti-tumour drug cocrystals and nanosystems for their release for both in vitro and in vivo applications.
Lorenzo Secundo was born in Milan in 1998. He obtained both his bachelor's and master's degrees in Industrial Chemistry at the University of Milan working on the development of Pd-based catalysts for the production of bio-adipic acid and hydrogen. In November 2022 he started the PhD in Materials Engineering with a project aimed at developing sensors for the detection of halogenated pollutants in water, in collaboration with Pietro Fiorentini SpA.
Elisa Marelli was born in Milan in 1997. She obtained both her Bachelor and Master of Science degrees in Materials Engineering and Nanotechnology at Politecnico di Milano, with a thesis on biocomposites based on cellulose nanofibrils and amyloidogenic peptides. In November 2022, she started the PhD in Industrial Chemistry and Chemical Engineering. Her current research activity is focused on bio-inspired systems for the development of innovative green materials.
Ajay Suresh was born in Kerala, India in 1996. He obtained his Bachelor and Master of Science Dual-Degree in Chemistry from Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Bhopal, India. His master thesis was focused on analysis of physico-chemical properties in developed molecular cocrystals. From November 2022, he started the PhD in Industrial Chemistry and Chemical Engineering at Politecnico di Milano, joining SBNLab research group.
