Hi there!
I’m Giuseppe.
My background is in Engineering Physics. I earned my bachelor’s degree at the Politecnico di Torino and later specialized in Nanotechnology for ICTs through an international program involving Torino, INPG Grenoble and EPFL Lausanne. During my final semester, I had the opportunity to develop my thesis at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, where I worked on a micro-bridge pressure sensor. That experience strengthened my interest in applied physics, experimental work and technologies designed for challenging environments.
After a first experience in industry as a test engineer, I felt the need to reconnect more deeply with my scientific background. This led me to pursue a PhD in Applied Physics at the University of Milano Bicocca. My research focused on neutron imaging and compact detector technologies, with most of the experimental work carried out at the RAL laboratories in the UK. Part of this work was also featured by the institute, including a neutron imaging study on pearls, which you can find here.
After my PhD, I moved back to industry, bringing together my technical background and my long-standing fascination with Life, the Universe and Everything (citation needed). I had the opportunity to contribute to several space-related projects, including the LICIA CUBE mission. These years allowed me to work across optics, imaging, testing and complex engineering systems, in a field that has always been very close to my personal interests.
Over time, my curiosity also pushed me to explore the intersection between technology, computer vision and art. Inspired in part by the philosophy of the School for Poetic Computation, I became interested in how technical tools can be used not only to measure and analyze the world, but also to represent it in meaningful and creative ways.
More recently, I have expanded my work into biotechnology, applying my experience in optics, imaging and complex technical systems to a field closely connected to life-saving products. I see this as another step in a broader path: using scientific and engineering skills to contribute to technologies with a tangible impact.
Overall, my journey has been shaped by curiosity, adaptability and a constant desire to learn. I enjoy working across disciplines and moving between research, development and industrial applications. I feel most at home in environments where technical depth, creativity and problem-solving meet.
I will let Herman Melville better express this feeling:
- As for me, I am tormented with an everlasting itch for things remote. I love to sail forbidden seas, and land on barbarous coasts. -
