Biography
Sergio Silvestri is Full Professor of Measurements and Biomedical Instrumentation. He works in the Measurements and Biomedical Instrumentation Laboratory (MTMBiLAB), Università Campus Bio-Medico di Roma.
Scientific activity is mainly focused on measurements and measurement systems for clinical diagnostics, in particular: on non-invasive biomedical instrumentation, contactless measurement of cardiorespiratory parameters, measurement of respiratory parameters during mechanical ventilation, novel sensors for flow measurement of compressible fluids, non-invasive methods for cardiac output estimation. He realized instruments for the respiratory simulation and performance testing of artificial ventilators along with uncertainty evaluation. He carries out researches on performance assessment and quality evaluation of medical instruments.
Since 2005 is Head of the Clinical Engineering Service of the University Hospital Campus Bio-Medico, with more than 7,000 biomedical equipment, as far as it concerns the acquisition of new equipment, the quality control and maintenance management. He is technical consultant of Manufacturers of Medical Devices and Equipment for Intensive Care Unit and Diagnostic Imaging.
Since November 2009 he is President of the Biomedical Engineering Committee of the Professional Society of Engineers in Rome.
