Bio:I joined Dimartino’s group in October 2019 to work on 3D printed devices for the separation of biologics. I was raised in Abruzzo, a region in central Italy, and carried out my studies at the University of Bologna where I completed a BSc in Chemistry and an MEng in Chemical Engineering. In my last year, I was awarded a travel grant by the University of Bologna to carry out my final MEng project at the Institute for Bioengineering at the University of Edinburgh, where I worked on the development of a 3D printed immobilised enzyme bioreactor in Dr Dimartino’s group. This opened my eyes to the vast opportunities of 3D printed complex structures in industrial biotechnology settings. During this time, my group and I made a video explaining how bespoke 3D printed structures can fast forward the separation sciences. Together, we won the 1st prize at the HPLC 2019 contest in Milan.

Bio:I am original from Sinaloa, Mexico and studied my undergraduate at the University of Guadalajara. During my undergraduate, I joined the biomaterials research group, which later resulted in being granted a scholarship to study an MSc on Forestry products at the same University. In November 2018 I joined Dimartino´s research group to work on 3D printing bioreactor applications. Scientific Activities:TBW |

Bio:I am from Xi’an, China and completed my BSc in Physics at Xi’an Jiaotong University. In 2016, I was recommended as an exchange student to study at the University of Manchester and graduated as MPhys in 2018. After that, I joined Dr Simone Dimartino’s group in December 2018 to work on simulations of ordered packed columns and seeking optimized morphologies. Scientific activities:

Bio:I have been fortunate to live most of my life in beautiful Edinburgh and in 2020 I completed an MEng in chemical engineering at the University of Edinburgh. In the summer of 2018, I had an opportunity to work with Dr Simone Dimartino and Dr Ursula Simon in the fabrication of 3D printed monoliths for chromatography. I was fascinated by how the physical and chemical properties of the monolith could be tailored by slightly adjusting its composition. Now, I am developing 3D printing materials for quality assurance in medical imaging. Scientific Activities:
