Andrea Cereatti

Andrea Cereatti is a Full Professor in the Department of Electronics and Telecommunications (DET) at the Polytechnic University of Turin and a member of the Interdepartmental Center PolitoBIOMed Lab - Biomedical Engineering Lab. With over 20 years of experience, he specializes in developing engineering methods to improve insights on the human locomotor system and offers innovative technological solutions to enhance physical performance and autonomy through wearable technology.

His research spans biomechanics, human movement analysis, joint modeling, rehabilitation technologies, and wearable sensors. Dr. Cereatti's work focuses on the intersection of engineering, technology, and healthcare, with applications in clinical movement analysis, neuromuscular disorders, and sports science. His research interests align with Sustainable Development Goals 3 (Good health and well-being), 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure), and 11 (Sustainable cities and communities).

Dr. Cereatti's recent publications demonstrate a strong focus on telerehabilitation systems, gait analysis in real-world scenarios, fall prevention for elderly populations, and advanced techniques for motion tracking during daily activities and sports performance. His work combines signal processing, sensor technology, and clinical applications to develop practical solutions for healthcare challenges.
