Biography
Luigi was a PhD student and Post-Doc at the Biorobotics Institute in Pisa, Italy, before joining the University of Dundee in 2011 as Project Coordinator and Senior Post-Doc of CODIR, a European Research Council (ERC) Advanced Grant, and then as Co-Investigator on CARPE, an ERC Proof of Concept Grant.
He won the prestigious Surgical Innovation Award sponsored by Covidien (Baltimore, 2013) and the runner-up prize for the Emerging Technology Award (Boston, 2016), both at SAGES Congress, USA.
He won the Dundee Venture Competition 2020 (staff category), with his proposal for a low-cost and disposable soft colonoscope.
His research is focused on soft materials for smart endorobots for screening and treatment of the GI tract.
