Emilia Ambrosini is Associate Professor at Politecnico di Milano. She received her Master’s Degree cum laude in Biomedical Engineering from Politecnico di Milano in 2007 and her PhD degree com laude in Bioengineering in 2011. Since 2011, she carried on her research activity at NearLab (Neuroengineering and Medical Robotics Laboratory) and she has been involved in several national (FESleg and FeatherExo; INAIL – Centro Protesi; Active3, Fondazione Cariplo; HYBR-ID, PRIN Project) and international projects (MUNDUS, EU-FP7 ICT; RETRAINER, H2020 IA ICT; MOVECARE, H2020 ICT; ESSENCE, H2020 IA; NIH Biofeedback for CP; i3LUNG, HORIZON EU; iBeChange, HORIZON EU). Her research interests are the development of novel methods for functional electrical stimulation and robotic systems for rehabilitation, daily life assistance and practice of sport activities of neurological patients, the development of advanced methods to quantitatively assess the effects of rehabilitative programs both in terms of functional gains and neural correlates, the design and implementation of randomized controlled trials and systematic reviews to promote evidence-based approaches in rehabilitation. Since 2019, she is team manager of the POLIMI FES-bike team at CYBATHLON. She is co-authors of more than 55 papers in international journals indexed in Scopus (H-index 25, May 2024).
