Tommaso Ristori studied Mathematics at the Università degli Studi di Firenze, where he obtained his Bachelor’s degree in 2010. His thesis focused on the implementation of a mathematical model for road traffic. During his Master at the same university, he was granted an OMJ scholarship to study Mathematical Engineering at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid. He received a joint Master’s degree in Mathematics and Mathematical Engineering in 2013, with a thesis on the development of an algorithm to efficiently solve the nonlinear Schrödinger equation.

In November 2013, Tommaso started as a PhD candidate at TU/e, in the Soft Tissue Engineering and Mechanobiology group of research. His thesis focuses on enhancing numerical algorithms and computational models to predict cell and soft tissue remodeling as a response to different stimuli.
