Anna Bandoni is a PhD candidate in the Department of Mechanics of Solids, Surfaces & Systems (MS3), Faculty of Engineering Technology, University of Twente. Her doctoral research, “Length-Scale Effects in Magnetorheological Elastomers”, explores how geometry and bio-inspired design can tailor the mechanical responses of smart elastomeric composites under magnetic fields. She combines experimental techniques (DMA, magnetic measurements, microscopy) with computational modeling (COMSOL, MATLAB) to connect materials design, multiscale mechanics and functional applications.
Before joining the University of Twente, Anna completed the Erasmus Mundus Joint Master’s Programme BIO&PHArmaceutical Materials Science (BIOPHAM), an interdisciplinary track spanning the University of Pisa (Italy), Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (Spain), and Université de Lille (France). She conducted her MSc thesis at the University of East Anglia (UK), focusing on xanthan gum-based inks for semi-solid extrusion 3D printing of pharmaceutical tablets.
She also holds a Bachelor’s degree in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Pisa, where she built a strong foundation in materials science and bioengineering.
Alongside her academic work, Anna is an active board member of PE•NUT, the PhD & EngD Network of the University of Twente, where she contributes to science communication and community engagement.
