Michele SORELLI

Biography

Michele Sorelli received his master’s degree in Biomedical Engineering from UniFI in 2015, with a final thesis on image processing techniques for monitoring the microvascular functionality in critical care scenarios, developed at the Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam.
In 2018, he completed a PhD at UniFI where he investigated advanced methods for the noninvasive diagnosis of microcirculatory alterations.
Since 2019, he has been working as post-doctoral researcher at the European Laboratory for Non-linear Spectroscopy (LENS) within the biophysics group led by Prof. Francesco Pavone. His current research activities mainly focus on the realization of ultra-fast control systems for the in-vivo optogenetic manipulation of neuronal circuit dynamics, the implementation of machine-learning based image processing pipelines for quantitative volumetric microscopy and, furthermore, the development of virtual reality systems for the investigation of visually evoked neuronal activity patterns and behaviors in zebrafish larvae.
