Congratulation to Marco Antonacci

His research focuses on the design, numerical and experimental validation of metamaterials-based underwater acoustic barriers. A project funded by PON – Ricerca e Innovazione.

Thanks to the project partner Phononic Vibes and the co-supervisors Varvara Kouznetsova Ondřej Rokoš Massimiliano Cremonesi for their precious contributions!

Last but not least, thanks to Marco for accepting the challenge to be my first PhD student! It was a great journey together, full of challenges and exciting results!
Ad majora!

2024 IEEE Sensors Council Technical Achievement Award – Early Career

It is a great honor for me to receive such a prestigious award!

A big thanks to the IEEE Sensors Council, to the MEMS group at the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department at Politecnico di Milano and to all the amazing researchers I had the pleasure to meet during my (short) career.

2024 AIMETA junior award

It is an honor to receive the 2024 AIMETA (Italian Society of Theoric and Applied Mechanics) junior award in Mechanics of Solids and Structures.

Thanks to all the amazing researchers I had the pleasure to collaborate with in these years at both Politecnico di Milano and Eindhoven University of Technology.

Congratulations to Lichen Weng and Negin Mohtasham

Congratulations to Lichen Weng and negin mohtasham.m that successfully defended their master thesis at Politecnico di Milano

👨🏻‍🎓Lichen thesis focuses on the design, fabrication and experimental characterization of a MEMS ring resonator.
Thanks to Federico Maspero, Giorgio Gobat and the whole PoliFAB staff at Politecnico di Milano for your precious contribution.

👩🏻‍🎓Negin thesis focuses instead on the design and numerical modelling of an innovative MEMS z-axis capacitive accelerometer.
Thanks to Yassine Banani, Gabriele Gattere and the full MEMS group at STMicroelectronics Italia for your support to the research activity.

IEEE SENSORS 2023

Enjoying the IEEE SENSORS 2023 conference in Vienna, Austria.

A great opportuniy to meet colleagues and friends and to share our recent results on a biaxial xz MEMS capacitive accelerometer with in-plane differential readout.

If you are interested, give a look to our paper recently published on IEEE Sensors Letters
