Giulia Luraghi was born in Legnano (Italy) in 1991. She received the Master of Science degree in Biomedical Engineering from Politecnico di Milano (Italy) in April 2016 and the Ph.D. degree in Bioengineering from Politecnico di Milano (Italy) in December 2019 with a thesis entitled “An in silico evaluation of cardiovascular devices by fluid-structure interaction simulations”. She carried out research in Biomechanics, focused on finite-element structural, finite-volume fluid-dynamics and fluid-structure interaction simulations and reduced order-modeling techniques. She is currently a Post-Doc Researcher at Politecnico di Milano, working for the H2020 project named IN Silico clinical trials for acute Ischemic STroke (INSIST) on in silico thrombectomy models. She received the Best Student Award (Virtual Physiological Human Conference 2018), the Best Thematic Presentation for an in silico model for industrial translation (IX Meeting of the European Society of Biomechanics Italian Chapter) and the Master Degree award “Novel Trends in Biomedical Engineering” (XXVI GNB 2016). She has authored 9 peer-reviewed international journals as junior researcher. She is a member of the European Society of Biomechanics (ESB) and the Virtual Physiological Human (VPH) Institute since 2017.

Giancarlo Pennati received his master degree in Mechanical Engineering from the Politecnico di Milano in 1989 and his PhD in Bioengineering from the Politecnico di Milano in 1995. Research fellows at the Department of Chemical Engineering in the period 1990-1992 and at the Department of Bioengineering of Politecnico di Milano since 1991. In the period 1994-1999 he collaborated with the “Bioengineering Center for Innovation in Cardiac Surgery” at the San Raffaele Hospital. At present he is Full Professor in Industrial Bioengineering. His research activity is in the area of the mechanical modelling and testing of natural and engineered tissues, and biomaterials, the biomechanics of the cardiovascular system (in particular, the foetal and neonatal blood circulations) and the design of artificial organs and prostheses. Other topics concerns the optimisation of some surgical techniques as well as the diagnostic use of ultrasound techniques. is author of more than 180 scientific works, of which about 70 on peer-reviewed international journals.

Sissy Georgakopoulou

Graduated in 2009 from the Civil Engineering department at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, in Greece.  In 2015 acquired bachelor degree in Biomedical Sciences at the VU (Vrije Universiteit) in Amsterdam and in 2018 obtained ‘cum laude’ master degree in Neurosciences at the UvA (University of Amsterdam). At the AMC started PhD in ischemic stroke and particularly in the local effects of microthrombi on the microvasculature and the role of collaterals in reperfusion.

Praneeta Konduri

Received her Bachelors in Engineering degree in Biomedical Engineering from Manipal Institute of Technology, India. She completed her MSc in Biomedical Engineering, specializing in Medical Physics, from Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands. Her research involved developing a planning tool for left ventricular reconstruction in patients with severe ischemic cardiomyopathy. She is now pursuing her PhD focused on image analysis for ischemic stroke patients. She aims to build a library of intra-cranial and extra-cranial vessel geometries and an ischemic core atlas that can serve as input for virtual stroke population models and in silico clinical stroke trials.
