Developed skills and lines of research

Andrea Aliverti is a full professor in the Department of Electronics, Information and Bioengineering (DEIB) at the Politecnico di Milano (Polimi). He received his B.S. in Electronic Engineering in 1992 and his Ph.D. in Bioengineering in 1997 from Polimi.

He is responsible for Lares (Respiratory Analysis Lab) at the Biomedical Technology Laboratory (TBM-Lab). His main research interests include bioengineering of the respiratory system and biomedical instrumentation and sensors for functional lung imaging. Specific research areas of interest include respiratory mechanics, computer-assisted surgery, image processing, and development of new methods for monitoring physiological variables. For FFC Ricerca Andrea Aliverti worked on multivolume MRI as a nonionizing imaging technique in the surveillance of patients with cystic fibrosis undergoing lung transplantation and the potential use of multivolume MRI to study the effects of CFTR modulator therapy. He is the author or co-author of more than 130 peer-reviewed scientific journal articles, 15 book chapters, editor of 3 books, and inventor of 13 patents.
