Biomedical Engineer (PhD) | Biomaterials, Tissue Engineering & Polymer Systems | Scientific Writing & Literature Reviews

Profile Summary

Biomedical engineer with a joint PhD from Ghent University and the University of Genova, specializing in biomaterials, hydrogel systems, and tissue engineering. My doctoral research focused on developing 3D-printed hydrogel scaffolds for meniscus repair, combining advanced material characterization (NMR, rheology, SEM, DMA, DSC, TGA) with fabrication development and biological evaluation. I currently work as an application scientist in the polymer and coatings industry, where I develop testing protocols, draft SOPs and regulatory documentation, and manage material characterization workflows in compliance with EU standards. This combination of academic depth and industry experience gives me a strong foundation for translating complex scientific concepts into clear, well-structured writing. I'm available for freelance scientific and medical writing projects including literature reviews, state-of-the-art reports, manuscript preparation, regulatory documentation, grant support, and technical content in biomaterials, tissue engineering, polymer science, and medical devices. Fluent in English and Italian, with working knowledge of Dutch.
