Biografia professionale

Professore Ordinario Anestesiologia presso l'Università di Trento e Direttore della UOC di Anestesia e Rianimazione dell' Ospedale Santa Chiara di Trento dal febbraio 2023. Dopo la laurea in Medicina e Chirurgia, conseguita nel 2001, si è specializzato in Anestesia e Rianimazione nel 2005. Nel 2003-2004 è stato research fellow presso il Massachusetts General Hospital di Boston e nel 2010 ha conseguito il Dottorato di Ricerca in Tecnologie Biomediche. Dal 2008 al 2023 è stato dapprima Ricercatore, poi Professore Associato, presso l’università Milano Bicocca e Dirigente Medico in convenzione presso l’unità di Anestesia e Rianimazione della ASST di Monza. È autore di circa 250 pubblicazioni indicizzate, cinque brevetti ed ha pubblicato il volume "Mechanical Ventilation: from pathophysiology to clinical evidence" in qualità di Editor. Anche grazie a queste competenze, ha tenuto oltre 200 conferenze su invito a congressi internazionali.
