Personal Information

Director of BioLab³ - the Biomedical Engineering Laboratory at Roma Tre University, Rome, Italy., and professor of Biomedical Engineering in the same University. He received a MSc degree in Electrical Engineering from Sapienza University of Rome, Rome, Italy (2000), and a PhD in Biomedical Engineering from University of Bologna, Bologna, Italy (2004). From 2004 to 2006 he was research associate within the Department of Applied Electronics, Roma Tre University, Rome, Italy, and from 2006 to 2008 he was research associate in the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Harvard Medical School, Cambridge, MA USA.

His research focus is on biomedical signal processing and modelling in the area of human movement analysis, and on the development of algorithms and devices in the area of rehabilitation engineering, where he is now involved in the inclusion of data mining techniques into wearable systems for physical activity monitoring.

He has participated in research programmes funded by the EU, and by national institutions for research and higher education. Since 2004, he has been appointed Lecturer for the course Health Management Systems at the School of Engineering in Roma Tre University, and in 2009 he joined the board of professors in the PhD program in Cognitive psychology, psychophysiology and personality at Sapienza University of Rome. He is now a member of the board of professors of the PhD program in Applied Electronics at Roma Tre University.

He is in the editorial board of the Journal of Healthcare Engineering, in the Bioelectronics Section editorial Board for Electronics, and associate editor for Frontiers in Computational Physiology and Medicine., and has reviewed manuscripts submitted for consideration to many editorial offices in the area of biomedical engineering.
