Biography

I am a healthcare innovation manager & researcher with more than 20 years of industrial and academic experience. My overarching goal is to advance the field of rehabilitation and healthy aging by developing personalized and evidence-based innovative solutions that improve neurological health and quality of life.


👨‍🔬 I am highly committed to bridging the gap between academic research and real-world applications, focusing on personalized, evidence-based treatments.


🥽 With an interdisciplinary expertise in neuroscience, virtual reality and digital health technologies, I am specialized in developing neuroscience-driven therapeutic interventions that target motor and cognitive functions, particularly in individuals who have experienced acquired brain damage.


🌍 My research efforts also extend to large-scale, transdisciplinary projects, which seek to implement effective, patient-centered models of neurorehabilitation across geographies, with a particular focus on telemedicine solutions.

💡 I love accompanying young entrepreneurs in transitioning their ideas from research to realization.

Improving cognition in older adults

A computerized multidomain training program for healthy ageing can improve cognition in older adults at higher risk of cognitive decline. 

Sensitive neurological assessment

Our immersive VR-based task is 30% efficient and sensitive in detecting mild to strong manifestations of unilateral spatial neglect.

Brain-computer interfaces and virtual reality for neurorehabilitation

Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) and virtual reality (VR) are two technologic advances that are changing our way of interacting with the world. Merging both technologies into simplified, practical devices may help democratize these technologies.
