Benedetta Franceschiello

Benedetta Franceschiello is an Associate Professor at HES-SO Valais-Wallis, part of the School of Engineering (Haute Ecole d'Ingénierie) in Sion, Switzerland. She holds a position in the Department of Information Technology and Engineering, teaching linear algebra courses across multiple bachelor programs including Industrial Systems, Biomedical Engineering, and Environmental Engineering.

Her research focuses on computational neuroscience, mathematical modeling of visual perception, and medical imaging techniques like MRI and EEG. Key interests include geometric optical illusions, neural dynamics, and the application of advanced mathematical methods to neuroimaging challenges. She has developed models linking cortical processes to perceptual phenomena, integrating psychophysics with computational neuroscience.

Franceschiello's work addresses topics such as MRI signal reliability in brain network analysis, optimization techniques for medical image reconstruction (e.g., LASSO algorithms), and the use of machine learning for analyzing eye-tracking data in neurological disorders like spatial neglect. She has contributed to conferences including ISMRM, ARVO, and OHBM, and her research spans interdisciplinary areas combining mathematics, engineering, and neuroscience.

Her recent studies emphasize the synergistic effects of physical stimulus properties in generating visual illusions and the development of automated 3D eye segmentation methods using MRI. Franceschiello's contributions bridge theoretical models with clinical applications, aiming to improve diagnostic tools and neuroimaging standards.
