Sede:
Trieste
Eleonora Secchi is currently the Group Leader of the bioMatter Microfluidics Group at ETH Zurich, Switzerland. She earned a B.A. in Physical Engineering, an M.Sc. in Nuclear Engineering, and a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering and Industrial Chemistry from the Polytechnic University of Milan. From 2014 to 2016, she was a postdoctoral fellow at Ecole Normale Supérieure of Paris, working on measuring water flow from a single carbon nanotube. She was awarded an ETH Postdoctoral Fellowship in 2016. In 2018, thanks to a Swiss National Science Foundation PRIMA grant, Eleonora started her research group. Her research aims to understand the physical mechanisms influencing bacterial biofilms' assembly and behavior. She exploits the precision afforded by microfluidics, combined with visualization techniques borrowed from soft matter physics, to access biofilm's microstructure and rheology, with the ultimate goal of linking structural properties to their biological function.
