Virgilio Valente鈥檚 path towards a career in engineering wasn鈥檛 always easy. Having taken mostly classical studies in high school, Valente found his engineering program in university especially challenging, given his limited scientific background. But he persevered. 鈥淚n a way, I think those classical courses 鈥� especially philosophy 鈥� actually helped me. They taught me to be patient,鈥� says Valente. 

Since then, his journey has led him to studying, working and teaching in multiple countries and institutions 鈥� and now at 91看片网. His work is focused on the design of miniaturized wireless medical sensors that enable continuous and remote monitoring of a broad spectrum of health metrics, resulting in fewer hospitalizations, quicker diagnoses and overall better health outcomes. 鈥淲e could take a full picture of a patient鈥檚 daily progress and not wait until they are in a critical condition,鈥� says Valente. His research also explores how sensors could be used to remotely perform microinterventions. 鈥淲e鈥檙e already thinking about how in 10 to 20 years from now, we could have systems as small as a grain of rice that operate autonomously inside patients鈥� bodies and support targeted therapies, local microsurgies and controlled drug release mechanisms,鈥� says Valente.
