Associate Professor

Claudia Casellato is Associate Professor and Head of the Neurocomputation Unit of D’Angelo’s lab at Department of Brain and Behavioral Sciences, University of Pavia, Italy. She got her PhD in Bioengineering at Politecnico di Milano in 2011. Then, she carried out research at Politecnico, on neuroengineering, neurorobotics and rehabilitation in motor learning. In 2017, she moved to the University of Pavia. Within the EU Human Brain Project and now EBRAINS, she works in developing and applying computational multi-scale neural models, with the main focus on the cerebellar circuit, to implicitly generate high-level functions from elementary neural features and microcircuit mechanisms, in physiological and pathological states. She is currently PI of a PRIN project “Cerebellar neuromodulation in ataxia: digital cerebellar twin to predict the movement rescue”, and she has scientific responsibilities within different PNRR projects: MNESYS, CN1 (In Silico Medicine), and Fit4MedRob. She teaches Brain Modeling class at Artificial Intelligence courses (interuniversity - bachelor and master) and at Psychology, neuroscience and human sciences master course at University of Pavia. She has more than 47 publications on international peer-reviewed journals.
