Enrico Domenico Lemma, PhD

Born in 1989, Dr. Enrico D. Lemma holds an Assistant Professor position in Materials Science and Technology at the Department of Engineering, Università Campus Bio-Medico di Roma. 

His academic background includes a MS degree in Materials Engineering at Università del Salento (2014) and a PhD in Materials and Structural Engineering and Nanotechnologies at Università del Salento (2018).

In 2019, he was awarded a two-year Alexander von Humboldt Postdoctoral Research Fellowship at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (Karlsruhe, Germany), to develop novel strategies based on DNA coupling for triggering selective call adhesion on 3D micro-structures.

His main research interests include nonlinear absorption optical systems (e.g., multi-photon polymerization) for studying cell mechanobiology in 3D, and (bio)chemical and mechanical properties of innovative materials for 3D printing. He currently develops models to merge 3D microfabrication with microfluidics and organ-on-chip technologies.
