Work with thought leaders and academic experts from Politecnico di Milano

Dr. Andrea Corti holds a PhD in Biomedical Engineering from The City College of New York. His research interests include tissue mechanics, cellular transport, and biomechanics. He received his BS and MS in biomedical engineering with a specialization in Prosthesis and Implant Design from the Politecnico di Milano and the University of Groningen, respectively. He has experience working in both industry and academia, and has been a teaching assistant for several courses in his department.

I am Director of Internal Research at Mirimus Inc, Research Assistant Professor of Cell Biology at SUNY, and Visiting Scholar at NYU Tandon School of Engineering. The major goal of my research team is to develop next generation sensing devices for the detection and monitoring of different human health hazards. Previous research directions include the engineering of tissue grafts and tissue replacement products, the manufacturing and testing of implants and biomaterials, the design and validation of bioreactor systems, organ-on-a-chip, and stem cell-based therapy. During over 15 years of research, I have had the opportunity to teach and mentor numerous undergraduate and graduate students and supervise several PhD and postdoctoral fellows.

Gabriel Stockdale has always been passionate about the built environment and construction engineering. With a strong foundation in physics, he pursued a degree in civil engineering with a focus on structural design at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. After completing his master's degree, he worked as a civil engineer, gaining valuable experience in the field and obtaining his professional license. Driven by his curiosity and desire to further his knowledge, Gabriel went on to obtain his PhD in Architecture, Built Environment, and Construction Engineering from Politecnico di Milano in 2020. During his doctoral studies, he conducted extensive research on sustainable building materials and methods, focusing on masonry construction. In 2020, Gabriel joined Masonry Methods, Inc. as the President and Principal Investigator. In this role, he oversees the development and implementation of innovative masonry construction techniques, as well as conducts research and development to further advance the field. Gabriel is a highly skilled and knowledgeable professional, with a strong understanding of both theoretical and practical aspects of construction engineering. He is dedicated to finding sustainable and efficient solutions for the built environment, and is committed to continuous learning and growth in the field.
