Chamomile Valentina

Chamomile Valentina is an Associate Professor at the University of Rome 'Foro Italico' in the Department of Human Motor Sciences and Health. Her research focuses on biomechanical analysis of sports movements, injury risk assessment using wearable sensors, and protocol development for movement analysis in clinical, sporting, and ergonomic contexts. She leads the Interuniversity Center for Bioengineering of the Human Neuromusculoskeletal System and collaborates internationally on projects like the MOVIDA toolkit and SPORTHEALTH AI-driven technology initiative.

Key projects include:

• Development of wearable sensors for injury prevention (WAVE project, 2019-2025)
• Standardization of soft tissue artifact descriptions for motion data sharing (Journal of Biomechanics Special Issue, 2017)
• International collaborations on para-athletics classification and injury mechanisms in running

Her academic roles include Rector's Delegate for Third Mission and representative for technology transfer. Teaching responsibilities span biomechanics and sports traumatology courses for undergraduate and master's programs.
