Letizia Bergamasco

Letizia Bergamasco is a Ph.D. candidate in Computer and Control Engineering at Politecnico di Torino, currently in her 38th cycle (2022-2025). She is affiliated with the SMILIES research group (reSilient coMputer archItectures and LIfE Sciences) within the Department of Control and Computer Engineering (DAUIN), and collaborates with the LINKS Foundation. Bergamasco received her B.Sc. in Electronics Engineering (2018) and M.Sc. in ICT for Smart Societies (2020) with a Double Degree from Politecnico di Torino and Politecnico di Milano through the Alta Scuola Politecnica program.

• LINKS Foundation researcher since 2020
• Focus on medical/industrial AI solutions

Her research combines computer vision and AI for clinical applications, particularly in early dementia detection through facial expression analysis and pediatric pain assessment using camera-based vital parameter evaluation. Recent publications demonstrate her work in:

• Deep learning for cognitive impairment detection
• Digital twin architectures for energy optimization
• Neonatal pain assessment systems
• LLM applications in pediatric emergency diagnostics

Current projects involve developing non-invasive biomarkers for dementia diagnosis and AI algorithms for infant monitoring systems. Bergamasco's work bridges computer engineering with healthcare applications, integrating multimodal data analysis and real-time processing systems.
