Alessandro graduated with an MSc in Computational Science and Engineering from ETH Zurich. After a brief stint in a cardiovascular research group in France, he moved to the UK in 2014, completing his PhD in comparative anatomy and biomimetics of bone tissue morphology at RVC's Skeletal Biology Group, RVC's Structure and Motion Laboratory and industrial collaborators Foster+Partners architects . He now works as a post-doc research bone tissue morphology changes during osteoporosis progression by adding new features to open-source scientific image analysis software.
