Francesca Tramacere received her Master's Degree in Biomedical Engineering (with honors) in 2009 and her Ph.D. in Innovative Technologies of Information and Communication Engineering and Robotics (with honors) in 2013. In 2012, she spent a period as a visiting researcher at the University of Kiel in Germany. From 2013 to 2016, she was a Post-Doc at the Center for Micro-Bio Robotics of the Italian Institute of Technology, working on robotic solutions inspired by biological systems and supporting her research group as a tutor of several Ph.D. students. From 2017 to 2022, she worked as a project manager of European and industrial projects in the robotics field.
During her research activities, she gained extensive experience in the synthesis of scientific outcomes and their translation into communication content, leading her to be currently the manager of the Italian Institute of Technology's websites.
