PhD Students
Marta Rosati was born in Vercelli in 1991. She graduated in Chemistry in Turin and she obtained the Master’s degree in Chemical Sciences and Technologies at the University of Milan Bicocca. In the period between the BS and MS degree she had a work experience in the Piedmont Agency for the Environment (ARPA), in Vercelli. From November 2017, she has joined SBNLab as PhD student in Industrial Chemistry and Chemical Engineering.
Nazeeha Ayaz was born and brought up in Chennai, India. She completed her Bachelors in Biotechnology and Masters in Nanoscience and technology from Anna University. Later, she worked as a guest lecturer at Madras University in the department of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology. She has been a research fellow under Dr. Chandan Srivastava at Department of Materials Engineering and also under Dr. Ravi Sundaresan at Department of Microbiology and Cell biology, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore.In 2017, Nazeeha joined SBNLab at Polimi as a PhD student. Her current research focuses on encapsulation of fluorinated compounds for imaging and drug delivery.
Lorenzo Sori obtained the degree in Biotechnologies and master degree in Industrial biotechnologies at the University of Milano-Bicocca. His master thesis project was developed at Politecnico di Milano; the research was focused on the development of a multibranched fluorinated compounds, which can be used as dual-mode imaging agents simultaneously active in 19F Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Optical Imaging. In 2018 he started the PhD in Industrial Chemistry and Chemical Engineering at Politecnico di Milano. The research project consists of studying the structural and mechanical properties of an elastomeric protein short peptide dispersions by microscopy, rheology, nano-indentation and tensile strength measurements. These structural studies are corroborated by quantum-mechanical and molecular dynamics analysis.
Alessandro Marchetti was born in Milan in 1995. He obtained both his Bachelor and Master of Science degrees in Chemical Engineering at Politecnico di Milano, where he graduated with a thesis on bicontinuous gels for drug delivery purposes. From November 2019, he joined the SBNLab research group as a PhD student.
Alessandro Strada was born in Pavia in 1993. He graduated in Chemistry and he obtained his Master’s degree in Organic Chemistry at the University of Pavia. After two years as research fellow, in November 2019 he started the PhD in Industrial Chemistry and Chemical Engineering at Politecnico di Milano in collaboration with the National Research Council of Italy.
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.
