Stefano Tortora is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Information Engineering of the University of Padova , where he has worked since 2023. His interdisciplinary career bridges engineering and neuroscience, with a focus on human-machine interfacing (HMI) and multimodal sensor integration. Education: M.Sc. in Biomedical Engineering (Politecnico di Milano, 2017), Ph.D. in Information Engineering (University of Padova, 2021). Research Focus: Neurorobotics, computational neuroscience, and assistive technologies using EEG-EMG data fusion. Tortora’s work involves developing hybrid HMI systems and shared-autonomy algorithms for lower-limb exoskeletons. He leads projects under the PNRR PE8 Age-IT and PNRR PE1 FAIR initiatives, applying machine learning to enhance mobility for motor-impaired individuals. His research includes pioneering recurrent neural networks for gait decoding from EEG data (2020) and probabilistic approaches combining brain-muscular activity. Contributions & Recognition: As a team manager for the WHi Team at Cybathlon since 2019, he has earned 2 gold, 1 silver, and 1 bronze medal, culminating in the BCI Jury Award (2024) . He serves as Associate Editor for the European Journal on AI and as Guest Editor for Frontiers in Neurorobotics and MDPI Applied Sciences.
