About Me
Giulio is Assistant Professor of Medical Imaging for Robotics in the RaM Lab.
His research interests and expertise are in medical imaging and robotics for medical applications. Giulio, closely working with clinicians, aims to develop novel technologies to improve the current medical procedures, including enhanced treatment and diagnosis. His overall objective is providing as much information and support to the surgical team to produce better outcomes, and improve the quality of life of patients.
Giulio received a MSc in Biomedical Engineering in 2007 at the University of Genoa, Italy. He graduated with a PhD in Medical Robotics from the Italian Institute of Technology in 2013, with a dissertation on new technologies for robot-assisted laser microsurgery.
Giulio was postdoc in the Bristol Robotics Laboratory, Bristol, UK (2013-2017) working on robot-assisted fracture surgery (RAFS). In 2017, Giulio joined the Hamlyn Centre, Imperial College London, UK where he and his team developed an MR-safe robotic platform for endovascular intervention.Expertise
