Martino Andrea Scarpolini

Early Stage Researcher 09

My name is Martino Andrea Scarpolini. I was born in May 1997, in Rome. I spent the major part of my life near Rome, in a set of towns called “Castelli Romani”. I’ve always been very curious in many fields, but particularly in science and computers. In 2015 I started my university studies in Physics and in September 2020, I received a master’s degree in theoretical Physics from the university of Rome “Tor Vergata”. My academic background focused on the fields of Statistical Mechanics, Numerical Simulations, Turbulence and Deep Learning. I practice rock climbing as everyday sport and I enjoy the mountains very much.

I started my PhD at University of Rome “Tor Vergata” in November 2020. The focus of my project is to identify morphological/bio-humoral/hemodynamic variables which are of great importance in aneurysm stabilization or rapture, through Big Data Analysis techniques. I am developing deep learning-based algorithms to automatically extract 3D models of the aorta from CT scans and to estimate hemodynamics variables from them. I spent the first year and a half at TechneValue GmbH, an IT company specialized in Digital Innovation. During this period, I have been developing python code for deep learning purposes, while learning to deal with problems from the biomedical engineering field. In the following year and a half, I will be in Fondazione Toscana G. Monasterio, at the BioCardioLab, an engineering laboratory inside a heart hospital in Massa, specialized in experimental and numerical simulations in the cardiovascular field.
