Bio:
Dr. Alberto Mazzoni is a Postodctoral Fellow at The BioRobotics Institute working with Prof. Silvestro Micera in the Translational Neural Engineering group. He received a magna cum laude degree in Theoretical Physics at Pisa University, and a PhD in Neurobiology from International School of Advanced Studies of Trieste. He worked as Postdoctoral Fellow in the Theoretical Neuroscience group of Prof. Nicolas Brunel (ISI Foundation Turin / Universitè Paris V) and in the Neural Coding group of Prof. Stefano Panzeri (IIT Foundation Genova /Rovereto). He published papers ranging from somatosensory and visual information processing to neuroengineering in a computational neuroscience perspective. He has an H-index of 12 and 520 citations (source: Scholar), and he is a referee for a dozen of peer reviewed journal. He participated to the FP7 SICODE and is currently participating to NEBIAS project. He tutored PhD and MC students and held courses on information theory and is a regular speaker at the main congresses of computational neuroscience.
