Biography

Marco Gagliardi is a Ph.D. candidate in Bioengineering and Medical-Surgical Sciences at Politecnico di Torino. His research focuses on optimizing Botulinum Toxin (BT) administration for spastic paresis using high-density electromyography (HD-EMG) and artificial intelligence. He previously worked as a Research Fellow, investigating neural excitation distribution in muscle volume.
Marco earned his Master’s degree in Biomedical Engineering (110/110 cum laude) from Politecnico di Torino, with a thesis on real-time myoelectric control of external devices, developed in collaboration with the University of Oxford. His academic background includes neuroengineering, bioimaging, and biomedical signal processing.
