Biography

Anita Coletta is a PhD student candidate in Computer and Control Engineering at Politecnico di Torino, with an academic background in Biomedical Engineering. She earned both her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees at Politecnico di Torino, specializing in Biomedical Instrumentation and complementing her studies with training in E-Health. Her Master’s thesis, “Facial Expression Analysis for Automatic Detection of Cognitive Impairment,” was developed within a clinical research project involving patients with dementia and marked a defining moment in her decision to pursue an academic research career.
Her research interests naturally evolved toward the study of stress and cognitive processes, particularly in the context of neurodegenerative and psychiatric disorders. She is drawn to interdisciplinary approaches that combine biomedical signal processing, affective computing, and machine learning, with a strong focus on multimodal frameworks integrating facial behavior, physiological signals and cognitive task data. She focuses on using reliable methods and handling sensitive clinical data carefully.
