Dr. Alberto Antonietti earned his Ph.D. cum laude in Bioengineering from Politecnico di Milano in 2018 and completed postdoctoral fellowships at the University of Pavia and EPFL (École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne). Since 2023, he has been an Assistant Professor of Bioengineering at Politecnico di Milano.
His research focuses on neuroengineering and computational neuroscience, aiming at modeling and understanding how neural plasticity and network dynamics enable cognitive functions and motor learning. He is also interested in applications of machine learning and artificial intelligence methods to neurotechnologies, including brain-computer interfaces and neurorobots. He has been active in scientific communities of neuroinformatics and bioengineering, with a keen interest in promoting open and reproducible science.
Dr. Antonietti is also passionate about teaching and is committed to mentoring the next generation of researchers. He has supervised numerous undergraduate and graduate students and actively engages with students to provide research opportunities and mentorship.
Dr. Antonietti has received several awards and honors for his work, including the prize for the best Ph.D. Thesis in Bioengineering in 2018, and the selection for the European Talent Academy 2023. In addition, he is an active member of the IEEE, serves as editor and reviewer for several journals, and participates in IEEE working groups. Since 2021, he has been a member of the Executive Committee of the international organization Neuromatch.
