Daniela Lo Presti

Biography

Daniela Lo Presti earned her Bachelor's degree in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Pisa in 2014, and her Master's degree in Biomedical Engineering and Ph.D. in Science and Engineering for Humans and the Environment from University Campus Bio-Medico of Rome (UCBM) in 2016 and 2021, respectively.

She is currently Assistant Professor at UCBM and coordinator of courses in the Master's degree program in Intelligent Systems Engineering (Smart Sensing and Measurements), Chemical Engineering for Sustainable Development (Sensors and Measurements in Environmental Monitoring), and the Bachelor's degree program in Industrial Engineering (Techniques for vital signs monitoring: from design to signal analysis).

In 2020, she spent a visiting period at the Department of Bioengineering at the Imperial College London.

She is a member of the IEEE society and various IEEE communities: IEEE Young Professionals, IEEE Instrumentation and Measurement society, and IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology society. She has received numerous awards and recognitions, including the Best PhD Thesis Award 2021 from Sensors MDPI for her dissertation "Wearables based on fiber Bragg grating sensors for application in Smart Healthcare: from design to test".

Her main research interests include the design, fabrication and feasibility assessment of measuring systems including wearable devices and flexible sensors for monitoring human health in terms of cardiorespiratory parameters and joint kinematics and, recently, plant health in terms of growth and microclimate changes.
