Laura Ferrari

Laura Ferrari is an Assistant Professor at Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna, affiliated with the LAMPSE group. Her research focuses on translating innovative technologies into practical applications, particularly in neuroscience and wearable devices. She specializes in developing seamless tattoo-based wearables for biomonitoring and advancing multimodal emotion recognition through collaborations with INRIA (France). Key projects include stress identification systems for autism support and wearable devices analyzing physiological signals combined with video data. Her work bridges data science, materials science, and engineering to enhance quality of life through technology.

Research interests span multimodal machine learning, deep learning on physiological signals, epidermal electronics, and tattoo technology. Notable collaborations involve INRIA for emotion analysis and interdisciplinary projects combining wearable sensors with clinical applications. Her contributions address challenges in autism care, stress management, and biomarker detection through novel device designs and algorithm development.

Publications emphasize innovations in wearable sensor fabrication, material science for biocompatibility, and multimodal datasets for stress and emotion recognition. These works highlight advancements in both theoretical frameworks (e.g., EEG analysis) and applied technologies like inkjet-printed conductive polymers.
