Dr. Simone Gervasoni

Simone Gervasoni obtained his bachelor and master degrees from ETH Zurich. He studied Mechanical Engineering with a focus on aerospace and control topics, and joined the Multiscale Robotics Lab as a PhD student in 2016.


During his PhD studies, he developed a new method for winding high performance electromagnets for use in magnetic navigation systems. Using this technology, he went on to develop a preclinical prototype portable electromagnetic navigation system and demonstrated different medical procedures both invitro and invivo. From the original prototype, he derived two magnetic navigation platforms which are currently in use in the MSRL.

After concluding his PhD studies, Dr Simone Gervasoni remained in the MSRL as an academic guest to support further research in magnetic navigation systems and investigate future magnetic navigation system designs. His primary interests are the usage of magnetic fields in novel ways combined with a good dose of complex systems engineering and modern production methodologies, such as 3D printing.
