Elena Seminati serves as a Senior Lecturer in Clinical Biomechanics within the Department for Health at the University of Bath. She holds additional affiliations with the Centre for the Analysis of Motion, Entertainment Research & Applications (CAMERA), the Centre for Health and Injury and Illness Prevention in Sport, and the Bath Institute for the Augmented Human. Her academic journey includes progression from Teaching Fellow (2014) to Research Associate (2014) and Senior Lecturer (2018).
Her educational background features a Laurea degree (BSc plus MSc) in Biomedical Engineering (2007) from Politecnico di Milano and a PhD in Human Physiology (2010) from Università degli Studi di Milano, followed by postdoctoral research positions in Milan (2010-2014) focused on human locomotion and volleyball injury prevention.
Seminati's research centers on biomechanics of human motion with clinical and sports applications. Her work spans lower limb amputee biomechanics, pathological locomotion analysis, sport injury prevention, musculoskeletal simulation, and motion analysis. She employs both experimental methods and computational modeling to establish injury risk factors and improve rehabilitation outcomes. Recent publications demonstrate strong focus on prosthetic innovation, residual limb monitoring, and sustainable care solutions.
Her scientific recognition includes the Young Investigator Award at the 17th Annual European College of Sport Science Congress (2012). Current research projects include 'Mapping Amputees residuum changes', ACTIPh (Additive Constructed Trastibial Intelligent ProstHetic), and SPECS (Sustainable prosthetic care solutions), with multiple active grants supporting her work in prosthetic technology and rehabilitation science.
Seminati leads the 'Virtual Biomechanics Lab' project and collaborates extensively through CAMERA, focusing on developing accessible technologies for limb difference care. Her work contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals related to health and well-being, particularly through innovations in prosthetic care and rehabilitation technology.
