Prof. Eugenio Guglielmelli

Eugenio Guglielmelli was born in Cosenza on May 8, 1965. He received the degree in Electronic Engineering and the PhD in Electronic Engineering (specialization in biomedical robotics) from the University of Pisa, in 1991 and 1994, respectively.

Full professor of industrial bioengineering (ING-IND/34) at the Faculty of Engineering of theUniversità Campus Bio-Medico di Roma, holds 2 courses at the Master's Degree level: Rehabilitation Bioengineering and Evaluation and Management of Biomedical Technologies. At the Campus Bio-Medico University, where he has been Pro-Rector for Research since 2013, he directs the Laboratory of Biomedical Robotics and Biomicrosystems. Between 2006 and 2009 he was a member of the Research Committee of the Integrated Research Center. From 2010 to 2013 he was Director of Studies of the Faculty of Engineering. From 1991 to 2004 he carried out uninterrupted teaching and research activities in the Class of Experimental Sciences of the Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna in Pisa, where from 2002 to 2004 he directed the Laboratory of Technologies and Systems for Advanced Robotics (ARTS Lab). He was Coordinator of the European project EVRYON (FP7, ICTFET programme). He is currently a member of the coordination group of two common research projects on prostheses funded by the INAIL Prosthesis Center of Vigorso di Budrio. His main research interests concern the theoretical and methodological aspects of bioengineering and medical robotics, with particular reference to the field of mechatronic and robotic technologies for the rehabilitation and assistance of the disabled and the elderly, to systems for robot-mediated motor therapy, biorobotics, biomorphic control of mechatronic systems and neuro-robotics. Author and co-author of more than 400 publications appearing in international journals and conference proceedings, he is also co-inventor of 7 patents and co-founder of 4 spin-offs in the field of biomedical technology. Since 2016 he has been Vice President for Publication Activities and Chair of the Publication Activities Board of the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society; since 2012 he has been Editor-in-Chief of the Springer series “Biosystems and Biorobotics”; since 2009 he is Associate Editor of IEEE Transactions on Robotics; between 2008 and 2011 he was Associate Editor of IEEE Robotics & Automation Magazine; in 2009 he was Guest Editor of the Special Issue on Rehabilitation Robotics of the IEEE Transactions on Robotics (vol. 25, no. 3, June 2009); he was Guest Editor of the Special Issue on 'Robotic Platfors for Research in Neuroscience' of the RSJ International Journal Advanced Robotics (vol. 21, no. 10, 2007 and vol. 22, no. 1, 2008); he is also Founding Member of the Editorial Board of the International Journal of Applied Bionics and Biomechanics (2006-2011). From 2016 to 2018, President of the Evaluation Unit of the IUSS - Scuola Superiore di Studi Universitari di Pavia. Since September 2018, Member of the federated Evaluation Unit SNS-SSSA-IUSS (Scuola Normale Superiore of Pisa, Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna of Pisa, Scuola Superiore di Studi Universitari di Pavia). From October 2018 Member of the National Scientific Qualification Commission (ASN) for Bioengineering, competition sector 09/G2. Since 2016 Member of the Steering Committee of the Stakeholder Board, main governing and coordination body, FET Flagship - Human Brain Project (www.humanbrainproject.eu).
