Giovanni Di Pino

Giovanni Di Pino is MD/PhD, Neurologist, Full Professor of Human Physiology and Head of the “NeXT: Neurophysiology and Neuroengineering of Human-Technology Interaction” Research Unit at Campus Bio-Medico University of Rome. Giovanni’s current fields of interest are system neurophysiology, neuroengineering and all possible combinations therewithin. He is primarily involved in: developing neural and non-invasive interfaces to control human sensorized cybernetic prostheses and supernumerary robotic limbs to improve human-machine integration; clarifying the mechanisms behind the sensorimotor control loop and the hand representation in the brain; investigating which features in an artificial limb favour its embodiment and the related brain processes; developing novel methods for non-invasive neuromodulation in health and disease. 
He co-authored several international peer-reviewed publications and he is official reviewer for the most renowned journal of the field, the EU Commission and National funding systems. He is an ERC grantee and responsible for several research projects funded by national and EU private and public institutions. He has been enlisted among the 50 people to follow by the prestigious journal “WIRED“ and winner of the third edition of Premio Italia Giovane, given each year to the ten best Italian young excellence, for the category Biomedical Research, awarded with the “alta medaglia” by the Italian Presidente della Repubblica. He designed the dual degree MD/Bsc Biomedical Engineering program “Medtech” @ Campus Bio-Medico University and he is the current president of the Program.
