Bahareh Azimi Assistant Professor, University of Pisa, Italy.Dr. Bahareh Azimi is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Civil and Industrial Engineering at the University of Pisa, Italy. She holds M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in Textile Engineering from Amirkabir University of Technology, Tehran, Iran. Since 2013, she has collaborated with several prestigious institutions, including the University of Pisa (Italy), Federal University of Sergipe (Brazil), and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (USA), as a visiting and postdoctoral researcher.
Her research focuses on fabricating and characterizing micro/nanofibers and particles using electrospinning and dry-wet spinning techniques, with applications in biomedical fields such as wound dressing, drug delivery, and tissue engineering, particularly in otology and dermatology. She has also contributed to the development of polymeric and composite materials for regenerative medicine, including electrically responsive biomaterials for nanomedicine applications.
Dr. Azimi's work integrates materials science and biomedical engineering, aiming to develop functionalized and antimicrobial materials for soft tissue applications. Her expertise spans piezoelectric nanostructured materials, biotransducers, and smart scaffolds designed to enhance therapeutic strategies and improve healthcare outcomes.
