Nicolò Boccardo received the B.Sc. degree in Biomedical Engineering and the M.Sc. degree in Robotics Engineering at University of Genoa (Italy) in 2011 and 2013, respectively. He worked as fellow researcher at the European Centre of Nuclear Research (CERN) in Geneve (Switzerland) in the EN/STI-ECE Group, focusing on high precision particle beam collimation. After a brief experience in the transportation industry at Bombardier, he was involved in the development of the Hannes prosthetic System at the Italian Institute of Technology (IIT) from 2014. Since then, he is actively involved into technology transfer and product development activities. Currently he is Chief Mechatronic Engineer and Team Leader of the Hannes prosthetic System project at the Rehab Technologies Laboratory (IIT) in Genoa (Italy), with deep knowledge of hi-tech medical devices. His expertise lies in the development of novel mechatronic systems in the robotics and prosthetic field.
