My research interests are Electrophysiological alterations in neurodegenerative disease, Deep Brain Stimulation in Parkinson’s Disease, Neurosensory engineering. I gained a PhD in Bioengineering in 2011 from the University of Genova with a PhD focused on the Computational neuroscience of Early Vision and it ended with a thesis on Visuomotor interactions in 3D spatial sensing and influences of eye movements for depth perception. As postdoc researcher at the University of Genova I started to deal with eye movements modelling and kinematics and RGBD devices and Virtual Reality for visuomotor rehabilitation. In 2013 I moved to the Institute for educational technologies of the Italian National Research Council where as a PostDoc was involved in a project dealing with Serious Games for subjects with cognitive disability. At the end of 2014 I joined the BioLab at the University of Genova, for a project on EEG analysis in visuomotor tasks with subjects affected by Parkinson’s disease. In 2015 I have been visiting fellow at the Dept. of Physiology, Pharmacology and Neuroscience, CUNY, CCNY, New York, USA, hosted by Prof. M.F. Ghilardi. In 2017 I became Assistant Professor in Bioengineering at the University of Genoa. I am member of the Academic board for the PhD in Bioengineering and Robotics at the University of Genoa, Italy. I authored more than 20 Journal publications, more than 30 peer-reviewed Conferences contributions and three book chapters.
