Before pursuing a PhD, Cosimo worked in the field of biological signal analysis, with a particular focus on photoplethysmography (PPG). Research was conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic and primarily aimed at investigating potential correlations between the disease and microcirculatory variations detectable through PPG signals.
Currently, Cosimo is a PhD candidate at the Department of Information Engineering at the University of Florence, where he is conducting research within the framework of a doctoral project titled "3D Imaging Systems and Augmented Reality in the Medical Field." His work primarily involves the study and application of 3D cameras, LIDAR technology, and augmented reality (via HoloLens 2) in medical applications. As part of this research, a joint laboratory has been established between the department and Imaginalis, a company based in Sesto Fiorentino (Florence) that specializes in the development of both hardware and software for cone beam CT machines. Through this collaboration, Cosimo is engaged in various projects, with a particular focus on integrating 3D cameras into the company’s systems.
During a research stay in Kraków, Cosimo will be exploring the development of a web-based application for visualizing 3D meshes. The objective is to transition an existing application—currently developed in C++ and running locally on users' PCs—into a web-based format, making it fully accessible remotely. This transformation aims to enable the rendering of medical meshes directly on hospital computers without requiring high-performance hardware, thereby enhancing accessibility and facilitating seamless integration into clinical workflows.
