The "Pan-European Young Professional Programme" aims to attract recent graduates from all Europe into patent examination. I dealt with patents in subclass G01D (various kinds of sensors). • interest in advanced technology • languages and communication • knowledge of Patent Grant Process • ability to work independently • legal sources of the European Patent Convention • attitude in learning technical matter outside the own expertise field • search strategies • examination stage

in a R&D company developing optical fibre sensors (OFSs), dealing with big companies in fields like transportation, oil&gas and energy production. • prior art study • test maschines • design of adaptation equipment • characterization of sensors • simulations of FBGs responses • data post-processing • Semiempirical laws • equipment to assemble OFSs • cases for customised electrical/optical boards • drawings of customised mechanical assemblies • practical skills • serial production of OFSs • team working

Cum laude. Thesis: Thermal and mechanical characterizations of embedded optical fibre sensors.

grade: 110/110. GPA = 27.5/30. Thesis: Embedding of optical fibre sensors in aluminium castings • The thesis work is consisted in a 500 hours internship in Infibra. Casting experiments to obtain sensorized specimens. The final goal is to have "smart" lightweight mechanical components. Specimen characterizations have been carried out to see how the sensor sensitivity is affected by the surrounding metal. Scientific publications and IEC standards considered as well. • various university projects

Sant’Anna ("Legge 14/02/1987 n.41") is one of the few Superior Graduate Schools in Italy, aiming at excellence in teaching and research. Students, already enrolled at the University of Pisa, are admitted by means of a selective competition. Sant’Anna’s Diploma di Licenza is formally equivalent to a postgraduate degree ("Decreto Legge 16/07/20 n.76 §19.3"). Sant’Anna aims to get multidisciplinary professionals capable of discovering innovative solutions.

GPA=28.6/30. Final examination report titled Pivoted-shoe brakes and Romiti’s circle.
