Gabriele Dubini received his master degree in Mechanical Engineering cum laude in 1988 and his Ph.D. in Bioengineering in 1993 from Politecnico di Milano, Milan, Italy. In 1993 and 1994 he worked as a Research Assistant in the Cardiothoracic Unit, Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children – NHS Trust, London, UK. From 1996 to 2001 he was an Assistant Professor of Thermodynamics and Heat Transfer in the Energy Engineering Department, Politecnico di Milano. From 2001 to 2007 he was an Associate Professor in Biomechanics in the Department of Structural Engineering, Politecnico di Milano, where he is currently a Full Professor. From 2003 to 2007 he was the Director of the Laboratory of Biological Structure Mechanics, Politecnico di Milano. His major research activities have regarded computational and experimental Biomechanics. They have included the microcirculation, the fluid dynamic optimisation of paediatric cardiac surgery procedures, the design of endovascular devices, thermodynamics and fluid dynamics in tissues and medical devices.
