Dr. Giulio Giovannetti is a Researcher at the Institute of Clinical Physiology, National Research Council (CNR). He received a degree in Electronic Engineering from the University of Pisa, Italy in 2000 and later worked as a research fellow and as a research grant at the C.N.R. Institute of Clinical Physiology in Pisa. He received a degree in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Pisa, Italy in 2004 and a PhD degree in Automatics, Robotics, and Bioengineering from the Engineering faculty of Pisa in 2008. Since 2009, he has been a researcher at the C.N.R. Institute of Clinical Physiology in Pisa. His research interests include electromagnetic field simulations and measurements in the magnetic resonance environment, radiofrequency coil design and simulation for magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy, dosimetry, and power deposition simulations and measurements. He has published more than 180 international journal articles, conference papers, and book chapters on topics related to his research themes. From 2012 to 2015, he had an academic teaching position at the Engineering School (Biomedical Engineering) of Pisa University (Italy) whose course title was “Tools for electromagnetic analysis in biomedical applications”. He is a reviewer for some scientific international journals, and he has collaborations with some high-tech industries involved in different fields of research and development.
Dr. Luca Menichetti is currently a Researcher at CNR-IFC, National Research Council Institute of Clinical Physiology. He holds an Industrial Chemistry in Medicine specialization in Clinical Biochemistry at the Università di Pisa. With a robust skill set that includes Science, Qualitative Research, Research, R&D, Materials Science, and more, Luca Menichetti contributes valuable insights to the industry. Starting from a background in the radiochemistry of transition Metals at the JRC-Institute for Transuranium Elements (Karlsruhe), Dr. Luca Menichetti started his independent research career as a Researcher at the Italian National Research Council, where he initiated a research program on innovative molecular imaging modalities, exploiting the hyperpolarization of 13C molecules, and the development of novel multimodality approaches in nanomedicine. His skills and expertise include imaging, medical imaging physics, nanobiotechnology, pharmaceutical development, magnetic resonance, biomarkers, cancer research, modeling and simulation, pharmacology, and drug discovery.
Dr. Maria Filomena Santarelli is a senior researcher at the CNR Institute of Clinical Physiology of Pisa. She has a Master's Science Degree in Informatics and a PhD in Biomedical Engineering.
