Andrea Blanco Ivorra

Andrea Blanco Ivorra serves as Assistant Professor in the Department of Materials Science, Optics and Electronic Technology at Miguel Hernández University of Elche, where she teaches Strength of Materials across Electrical, Electronic, and Mechanical Engineering programs. She holds the position of Chair Secretary for the Chair of Advanced Technologies for Rehabilitation, focusing on developing innovative rehabilitation technologies.

Her research centers on rehabilitation robotics and neuroengineering, with emphasis on exoskeleton design for upper limb motor rehabilitation, stroke recovery, and assistive technologies for aging populations. She integrates EEG monitoring, biomechanical analysis, and machine learning to create intelligent systems that enable longitudinal assessment and adaptive therapy protocols. Her work bridges clinical rehabilitation with engineering innovation to improve motor function outcomes.

Recent publications reveal a cohesive research trajectory in developing and validating robotic rehabilitation systems, with particular focus on home-based solutions, brain-computer interfaces, and personalized therapy adaptation. Her 2024-2025 output demonstrates strong interdisciplinary collaboration across neuroscience, mechanical engineering, and gerontechnology, with consistent emphasis on practical clinical implementation and user-centered design.

Dr. Blanco Ivorra's affiliation with the Chair of Advanced Technologies for Rehabilitation drives her work in translating engineering innovations into real-world rehabilitation applications, particularly through the ROAD tele-rehabilitation platform and bimanual exoskeleton systems for daily living assistance.
