Biography

In November 2019 I founded D/Vision Lab. Follow us!

From January 2014 to November 2019 I worked as Software Engineer and Head of the Application Area for Orobix Srl. My working interests were focused in different research activities such as software design and develop on cloud-based computing technologies, 3D/VR/AR computer graphics and image rendering, image analysis, motion-sensing technologies and deploy of Artificial Intelligence algorithms.

From April 2009 to December 2013 I worked as a researcher in the Medical Imaging Unit of the Biomedical Engineering Department of the Mario Negri Institute, a no-profit italian research organization. My working interests were focused on software design and code developing, 1D and 3D computational fluid dynamics, reconstruction, geometric analysis, mesh generation and surface data analysis for image-based modelling of blood vessels. I was involved as main developer of pyNS, an open-source framework for 0D/1D haemodynamic computational modelling.

From the beginning of 2011 to December 2013 I worked as freelancer for Orobix Srl. I was involved in software design and develop on cloud-based computing technologies as well as website coding (www.vmtk.org).

I’m based in Bergamo, Italy. You can reach me at simone (dot) manini (at) dvisionlab (dot) com.
