Visiting Masters degree students
Sonia Medoumir is a French student from the engineering school Telecom Physique Strasbourg where she studies biomedical engineering. She is doing her first year master internship at NearLab at Politecnico di Milano from June to August 2020. Under the supervision of Elena De Momi and Pierangela Bruno, she is working on a machine learning algorithm that uses genetic data of various patients to identify the genes that are involved in breast cancer. under tutorship of Elena De Momi.
Vincent Winderoll is a German Mechanical Engineering master´s student from ETH Zurich in Switzerland. From September 2019 to February 2020 he works on his semester project which is part of his master’s degree under the supervision of Alice Segato and the tutorship of Elena de Momi. The aim of his project “Surgical Path Planner with a Reinforcement Learning Approach for Steerable Catheters” is to develop an automatic learning-based path planning algorithm able to pre-operatively assist the surgeon, computing optimal curvilinear trajectories.
Stijn Klevering is a Dutch student from the Delft University of Technology where he studies Musculoskeletal Biomechanics, which is a track of the Biomedical Engineering Masters programme. He is doing his 2nd-year internship at Neuroengineering and Medical Robotics Laboratory at Politecnico di Milano from September to December 2018. He is working on the subject of “Enhancing human robot interaction with a biomimetic approach”. He is tasked by developing a control scheme including a biomimetic approach by an impedance controller to regulate the robot’s dynamic properties. His representatives are Dr. Elena de Momi and Dr. Jacopo Buzzi.
José Rebelo is a 22 year old (born in 1995) Portuguese MSc student from University of Minho (UM). He is currently studying Medical Electronics – a branch of the Biomedical Engineering course at UM. He has developed interest in working with augmented reality in surgical context. For the autumn semester 2017/2018, he is on an Erasmus+ exchange period at NEAR LAB , where he except to develop a tool for pre-operative registration using augmented reality with the tutorage of Elena de Momi.
Ricardo Mesquita is a portuguese student from University of Minho where he studies Medical Electronics, a track of Biomedical Engineer Masters Programme. Currently in his second year of master’s degree, he’s doing an internship at Neuroengineering and Medical Robotics Laboratory at Politecnico di Milano from September 2017 to February 2018. Under the tutorship of Elena de Momi and Giancarlo Ferrigno, he’s working on a project that consists in designing and modeling a miniaturized concentric tubular robot to perform middle ear surgeries. His motivation is that this type of robots occupy the minimum space possible in the external canal of the ear allowing the surgeon a better manor of all the instruments necessary for the surgery.
Juan Telo is a Portuguese student from University of Minho where he studies Medical Electronics, a track of Biomedical Engineer Masters Programme. Currently in his second year of master’s degree, he’s doing an internship at Neuroengineering and Medical Robotics Laboratory at Politecnico di Milano from September 2017 to February 2018. Under the tutorship of Elena de Momi, he’s working on a project on gesture recognition and motion analysis.
