I started my PhD in November 2024 and moved to the Netherlands to pursue this opportunity. I graduated in Biomedical Engineering from the Polytechnic University of Milan, where my master’s degree specifically focused on Healthcare Management. Environmental issues have always been close to my heart, and this passion led me to eagerly embrace this opportunity, as I wish to actively contribute to a more circular healthcare system.

I am a PhD Candidate at Eindhoven University of Technology, specifically in the Innovation Technology Entrepreneurship & Marketing group within the Department of Industrial Engineering & Innovation Sciences. This group undertakes various projects aimed at transitioning to a more sustainable society by analyzing changes in the behavior of individuals and firms.

Before starting this adventure, I worked as a process analyst, designing and analyzing possible development scenarios regarding territorial health solutions. This experience allowed me to better understand the interactions and activities that characterize the daily life of all stakeholders within the hospital ecosystem.

I am part of Workpackage 4, specifically, I am involved in identifying, designing, and evaluating viable business models for supply chain partners to enable circularity in the hospital value chain. This methodology aims to develop knowledge that professionals can use to design interventions for their field problems and I hope that my work will inspire the stakeholders of the hospital ecosystem to adopt more sustainable ways of producing and acting.
