Dante Mantini is a full professor at the KU Leuven, affiliated with the Faculty of Movement and Rehabilitation Sciences and the Department of Movement Sciences. He serves as the department chair and leads the Movement Control & Neuroplasticity Research Group, while also holding interim leadership at the Bakala Athletic Performance Facility.

• Research focuses on neural engineering, neuroinformatics, and neuroscience, particularly brain-muscle interactions, movement-related neural dynamics, and neuroprosthetic development.
• Active projects include multimodal studies on stroke recovery, gait impairments, sleep's impact on motor performance, and neuroprosthetic device fabrication via advanced printing techniques.
• He contributes to European College of Sport Science and collaborates internationally, notably with Italy's G.D’Annunzio University on brain imaging in athletes.
• Teaching responsibilities include Research Topics in Motor Control, Advanced Medical Imaging, and Master’s thesis guidance in human movement sciences.
• His work is funded by the Bijzonder Onderzoeksfonds (BOF), with a sabbatical focused on expanding mobile EEG applications for dynamic movement studies.
