CONSOLO FILIPPO
Guest
Filippo Consolo received his Bachelor Degree in Biomedical Engineering from the Politecnico di Milano (December 2003) with a Thesis on the computational analysis of aorto-coronary flow curves after myocardial surgery revascularization. At the same university, he received his Master Degree in Biomedical Engineering (December 2006), graduating with a Master Thesis on a computational fluid dynamics model for the analysis of transport phenomena within an extracorporeal liver support device. In 2008, this work was awarded from the American Society of Mechanical Engineering, during the 2008 ASME Summer Bioengineering Conference.
In 2010 he obtained the PhD degree in Biomedical Engineering from Politecnico di Torino, working on the application of advanced computational modelling techniques and bio-nanotechnology in the Tissue Engineering field. During his PhD he worked (7 months) at the Physics Department of the Faculdade de Ciencia e Tecnologia dela Universidade Nova de Lisboa, in Lisbon (Portugal), collaborating with the GREAT (GRupo de EngenhariA dos Tecidos, Tissue Engneering Group) and at the Laboratory of Biomacromolecules (5 months) of the Department of Chemistry of the Alma Mater Studiorum Università di Bologna (Bologna, Italy).
Since 2010, he has a post-doctoral position at the Laboratory of Micro- and Biofludi-dynamics (mBS Lab) of the Department of Bioengineering of Politecnico di Milano. His current research activity concerns the design of dynamic cell culture systems (i.e., bioreactors) for the development of bioartificial and biomimetic tissues for regenerative medicine purpose. He serves as assistant lecturer in the course of Experimental Biofluidodynamics (Master Course in Biomedical Engineering).
Filippo is author of 4 peer reviewed international papers and 1 book chapter in the field of computational modelling and tissue engineering.
