Summary
Stefano Galvan received his MSc and PhD in Computer Science at the University of Verona (Italy). Starting from 2001, he has been working as an experienced computer scientist on challenging academic research projects, contributing as coordinator, lead software developer and system administrator. From 2009 to 2013, he worked in industry as IT manager and consultant, his main role being software developer for embedded systems.
In 2013 he joined the Tribology group at Imperial College. His work as a Research Fellow focuses on the management of European Projects in collaboration with the Mechatronics in Medicine Lab (ACTIVE until 2015 and EDEN2020 starting from April 2016) and the design and development of software for scientific research in collaboration with the Non Destructive Evaluation group.
