Stefano Mazzoleni is Associate Professor of Bioengineering at the Department of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology of Polytechnic University of Bari (Italy) and IMT School for Advanced Studies Lucca (Italy). He is Affiliate Professor at Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna of Pisa (Italy).
He is author of more than 130 scientific publications in peer-reviewed journals and international conferences, principal investigator/scientific coordinator of several national and international research projects and member of several editorial boards of international scientific journals in the fields of robotics, bioengineering and rehabilitation.
His research interests include i) design, development and validation of robotic and mechatronics systems for rehabilitation and analysis of human motor control, ii) control algorithms for robotic systems, iii) movement biomechanics, iv) design, development and validation of technological devices and models for functional assessment in neurorehabilitation, v) data pre-processing and post-processing of physiological parameters, vi) multimodal data analysis.
He has served as member of the Promoting Committee and Technical-Scientific Committee of the National Consensus Conference on rehabilitation robotics (2018-2021). He is member of the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society (RAS), IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBS), Italian Society of Neurological Rehabilitation (SIRN), Bioengineering National Group (GNB) and National Institute for Robotics and Intelligent Machines (I-RIM) and the Neurobioethics
group at the Pontifical Atheneum Regina Apostolorum.
He is co-chairing the IEEE/RAS Technical Committee on “Rehabilitation and Assistive Robotics”,
the I-RIM working group on “Rehabilitation Robotics” and the SIRN working group on “Robotics and technologies for rehabilitation”.
In 2005 he was the recipient of the “Student Travel Award IEEE International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics” and in 2018 he received the “Innovation Business Award” promoted by the Young Innovators National Association (ANGI – Associazione Nazionale Giovani Innovatori) in the category “Robotics”.
He is a founding member of academic startups in the field of robotics for neurorehabilitation, Artificial Intelligence and biomedical technologies.
