Eleonora Tamilia

Eleonora Tamilia, PhD, is an Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at Harvard Medical School and Director of the Epilepsy Monitoring Unit (EMU) Signal and Data Science Program at Boston Children's Hospital. She holds a PhD from University Campus Bio-Medico and MS from University Tor Vergata of Rome, with postdoctoral training at BCH/HMS (2015–2019). Her research focuses on advanced analysis of EEG/MEG signals to identify epilepsy biomarkers and improve pediatric neurological care. She leads the Fetal-Neonatal Neuroimaging Developmental Science Center, developing non-invasive neonatal brain injury diagnostics.

Her research interests include signal processing for neurological disorders, with emphasis on epilepsy biomarkers and neonatal monitoring. Awards include Young Investigator recognitions from the American Epilepsy Society, International Federation of Clinical Neurophysiology, and IEEE EMBS. Her recent work applies machine learning to predict surgical outcomes using EEG data.
