Cristian Pasluosta

PD Dr.-Phil. Cristian Pasluosta is a Senior Lecturer and Group Leader of the Physiological Control System Group at the Laboratory for Biomedical Microtechnology (IMTEK), University of Freiburg, within the Faculty of Engineering. His research focuses on applying machine learning and pattern recognition to analyze human motion, particularly in amputee populations and patients with neurological disorders. Key areas include restoring motor functions via peripheral nervous system stimulation, gait dynamics, and balance control mechanisms.

Education & Positions:

• 2017–Present: Group Leader, IMTEK, University of Freiburg
• 2014–2016: Postdoctoral Researcher, Friedrich-Alexander-University Erlangen-Nuremberg
• 2011–2014: Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Cleveland Clinic, USA
• 2006–2010: PhD in Biomedical Engineering, Louisiana Tech University
• 2000–2005: Bachelor's in Electrical Engineering, Universidad Nacional de Córdoba, Argentina

Research Interests:

• Analysis of neural/muscular signals in amputees and neurological patients
• Balance and postural control mechanisms in amputees
• Design of neurostimulation paradigms for sensory feedback restoration

His work emphasizes translational research to improve prosthetic and orthotic technologies.

Funding & Collaborations: Supported by DFG, B. Braun Foundation, and collaborations with institutions like University Hospital Freiburg and Swiss Paraplegic Center.
