Silvia Bossi received her master’s degree in mechanical engineering from the Sapienza University of Rome (Rome, Italy) in 2004. In 2008, she received the Ph.D. degree in biorobotics engineering from Sant’Anna School (Pisa, Italy) and IMT Lucca, (Lucca, Italy). From 2008 to 2010, she served as a Post-Doctoral Researcher at the Biorobotics Institute, Sant’Anna School, (Pisa, Italy) focusing on the development of thin film neurotechnology. In 2011, she obtained a Fulbright BEST fellowship in Technology Entrepreneurship, Santa Clara University (Santa Clara, CA, USA). In 2012, she joined the Robotics Laboratory at ENEA (Rome, Italy). From 2013 to 2014, she was a Visiting Researcher at the Viventi’s Lab, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, New York University (Brooklyn, NY, USA). At ENEA she works on the development of thin films technologies for biorobotic applications and mechanical studies for marine robotics. From 2019 she started working for the PED programme in collaboration with FFG (Vienna, Austria) to promote the implementation of Positive Energy Districts and Neighbourhoods for sustainable urbanization.
