Bio

I am a Junior Assistant Professor in the Department of Industrial Engineering at the University of Bologna (Italy). I completed my PhD in musculoskeletal biomechanics at Griffith University and then conducted post-doctoral research in the same field at the University of Bologna. My research activities focus on the development and use of different approaches to model suboptimal or abnormal muscle control, which include EMG-assisted and stochastic approaches, to better understand and study neuromusculoskeletal conditions (such as cerebral palsy or age-related muscle disorders). As postdoctoral researcher I was further involved in the EU-funded Mobilise-D project, aimed at validating a set of Digital Mobility Outcome measures (e.g., real world walking speed) derived from the continuous recordings of a single werable sensor to monitor disease status and progression in diseases affecting mobility.
