Alessandra Pedrocchi (MSC in Electronics Eng.; PhD in Bioeng) is currently full professor at the Department of Electronics, Computer Science, and Bioengineering of the Politecnico di Milano, where she teaches Neuroengineering; Biomedical Instrumentation to  Biomedical Eng graduate and undergraduate students;  and contributes to the HealthCare Robotics at MedTech; Medical Device Regulation and Trustworthy AI in Oncology classes for PhD students.
She is one of the founders of the Nearlab, the NeuroEngineering And Medical Robotics lab, where, she has overseen the Neuroengineering section (www.nearlab.polimi.it). Since 2019 she has been one of the leaders of the interdepartmental laboratory "WE-COBOT LAB Wearable and collaborative robotics Laboratory".  She is one of the scientific PIs of POLIMINT, the Joint Research Center of POLIMI and the National Cancer Institute (Fondazione Istituto Nazionale dei Tumori, IRCCS- INT) for AI in Oncology and she co-founded the European Society for AI in Cancer research, ESAC.
Alessandra's research interest is neuroengineering, including biomechanics in motor control, new technologies for neurorehabilitation, with particular emphasis on exoskeletons, neuromodulation, Functional Electrical Stimulation, and the study of the correlation between brain plasticity and functional recovery, computational neuroscience, and eXplainability of Artificial Intelligence (XAI) in Oncology.
She has coordinated various research projects funded by national private foundations (Fnd. Cariplo and Fnd. Telethon), European Commission (H2020; Horizon Europe), NIH, national ministry of research (MUR), and Regione Lombardia, and in collaboration with INAIL. 
She is director of the POLIMI international master on "RehabTech: Technologies for innovation in Rehabilitation Medicine and for assistance" (www.rehabtech.polimi.it). 
She is one of the founders,and holds shares of Agade srl (www.agade.eu) and AllyArm srl,  start-up companies working in the field of exoskeletons for industrial applications and biomedical applications, respectively.
