Dr. Giuseppe Tronci

Profile

• Lecturer in Healthcare Materials (2016-present)
• Senior Research Fellow, Clothworkers Centre for Textile Materials Innovation for Healthcare (2013-2016, University of Leeds)
• Research Fellow, WELMEC Centre of Excellence in Medical Engineering (2011-2013, University of Leeds)

I am a Lecturer in Healthcare Materials within the Clothworkers Centre for Textile Materials Innovation for Healthcare (CCTMIH), with an affiliation with Leeds School of Dentistry. My research profile lies at the interface of biomaterials science, macromolecular science, and textile technology. I am particularly interested in the biomimetic design of functional material systems for relevant clinical applications, e.g. in the context of musculoskeletal and chronic wound care. I joined CCTMIH in 2013 as a Senior Research Fellow following post-doctoral training within the WELMEC centre of excellence in medical engineering (University of Leeds, UK). Prior to joining the University of Leeds, I completed my undergraduate studies in biomedical engineering (Polytechnic University of Turin, IT) and a PhD in biomaterials (University of Potsdam, DE).
