Filippo Maceratesi

Filippo Maceratesi is a researcher at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC), affiliated with the Department of Mechanical Engineering and the School of Industrial Engineering of Barcelona. He is a member of the BIOMEC - Biomechanical Engineering Lab and the TecSalut - Research Group in Health Technologies, where he contributes to cutting-edge research in biomechanics and rehabilitation engineering.

His research focuses on biomechanics, neuromusculoskeletal modeling, gait simulation, and robotic rehabilitation. He investigates muscle modeling, tendon compliance, and subject-specific activation dynamics, particularly in the context of spinal cord injury and walker-assisted gait. His work integrates computational modeling with clinical applications to improve rehabilitation outcomes.

The recent publications highlight a strong trend in biomechanical simulation and rehabilitation robotics, with a focus on enhancing gait prediction accuracy, improving upper body kinematics, and assessing muscle models in clinical populations. His research bridges engineering and healthcare, aiming to translate computational models into practical assistive technologies.

Filippo is involved in competitive R&D+i projects such as Xarxa R+D+I en Tecnologies de la Salut (Xartec Salut), demonstrating active participation in large-scale collaborative research. While no formal awards are listed, his contributions to high-impact journals and conferences reflect recognition in the biomechanics and rehabilitation community.

He collaborates with key researchers including Josep Maria Font-Llagunes, Míriam Febrer-Nafría, and Carles Pagès. Although no students are explicitly listed, his role in research projects suggests potential mentoring and supervisory responsibilities. He is part of the BIOMEC and TecSalut research groups, which focus on biomechanical engineering and health technologies, respectively.
