Alessandra Corrado received her Master’s degree in Nanotechnologies and Physics of Matter from the University of Salento, Italy in 2024 and her thesis focused on optimizing traction force microscopy techniques to study the forces exerted by tumor cells at adhesion sites on specifically engineered substrates, at the "Nanobiotechnology, Nanomedicine and Nanobioelectronics Laboratory" within the Department of Mathematics and Physics "Ennio De Giorgi", University of Salento. Her Bachelor’s degree was in Physics from the University of Salento, Italy in 2022, with a thesis on the development of Lab-on-Chip systems for the diagnosis of neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, and ALS, using impedance measurements at CNR-Nanotec in Lecce. She also completed an internship at the Italian Institute of Technology – Center for Biomolecular Nanotechnologies, where she worked in the fields of photonics, photoacoustics, and microfabrication. Since November 2024, Alessandra is a PhD student at the University of Salento in Materials, Structure and Nanotechnology Engineering and at IIT – Center for Biomolecular Nanotechnologies and her research focuses on the design and fabrication of a fiber-based photoacoustic transmitter for biomedical applications.
