معرفی
Giacomo Severini is a Lecturer in Biomedical Engineering at the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, University College Dublin. His research focuses on human motor control, motor learning, and rehabilitation robotics, aiming to develop innovative tools for rehabilitating individuals with movement impairments. He holds an MS (2008) and PhD (2012) in Electrical Engineering and Biomedical Engineering from Roma Tre University, Italy, and previously worked as a Research Associate at Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital (2011–2015) and postdoctoral researcher at Harvard Medical School (2012–2015).
Research Interests: Dr. Severini investigates neuromuscular control mechanisms using robotics, computational modeling, and clinical biomechanics. Key areas include:
- Rehabilitation engineering for stroke, cerebral palsy, and spinal injuries
- Muscle synergy analysis to decode motor recovery patterns
- Robot-assisted gait and upper-limb training
- Neural-inspired controllers for adaptive movement
- Biomechanical assessments of sit-to-stand, walking, and cycling
Publication Trends: His 15 most recent articles (2023–2025) emphasize quantitative rehabilitation science, with recurring themes in muscle synergy applications for clinical diagnostics, robot-assisted therapy efficacy, and predictive simulations of movement. Studies frequently integrate multimodal data (EMG, EEG, kinematics) and target neurological populations (stroke, cerebral palsy).
