Alessio Siviglia achieved his Bachelor’s degree in Engineering Physics at the Politecnico di Milano (Milan) in 2019 and his Master’s degree in Engineering Physics – Photonics and Nanooptics at the same University in 2021. His Master project was completed at the Physics Department of Politecnico di Milano in the context of European project VASCOVID, which aimed at converting neurophotonic techniques into a bio-photonic tool for the hemodynamic monitoring of Covid-19 ICU patients. After 19 months of working experience in a consulting company in Italy, he enrolled as an EPFL Physics PhD student in the CIBM Center for Biomedical Imaging in 2023 under the supervision of Dr. Bernard Lanz and Prof. Dimitri Van de Ville, and in collaboration with Dr. Cristina Cudalbu. He is currently working on developing fast acquisitions and metabolic modelling strategies for deuterium magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (2H-MRSI) at ultra-high field (14.1T), with the final goal to validate them on epilepsy in-vivo models.
