Background

About Simone Tassani

Simone Tassani received the M.Sc. degree in biomedical engineering in 2005 with the thesis “Analysis of mechanical fracture in human trabecular bone and its correlation with morphometric parameters”, and the Ph.D. in biomedical engineering, in 2009 with the thesis “Evaluation of Bone Strength: Microtomographic Techniques” from Engineering Faculty, University of Bologna, Italy. He was an early stage researcher working at the Rizzoli Orthopaedic Institute, Bologna, Italy. He was involved in the European project “Living Human Digital Library” (LHDL, IST-2004-026932) during which has acquired in-depth knowledge of the bone microstructure and its mechanical behaviour. He worled for the European Project “The Osteoporotic Virtual Physiological Human” (VPHOP, ICT-2008-223865) for the study of osteoporotic bone. He is member of the European Society of Biomechanics and is interested in the development and application of image processing technique for the analysis of bone mechanical behaviour. He was working as project manager and principal investigator for the Marie Curie European project MOSAIC,(project number: PIEF-GA-2009-253924) about identification and prediction of bone fracture as experienced researcher and project manager at the National Technical University of Athens. He is now Freelance researcher and it is participating in writing several scientific paper and European projects. Specialties: Biomechanics of trabecular bone, Statistical Analysis.
