Short Bio

Alessandra Bertoldo is Full Professor in Bioengineering at the Department of Information Engineering, University of Padova, Italy; since 2022, she is Director of the Padova Neuroscience Center, University of Padova, Italy, and since 2017 she is Coordinator of the Master’s Degree Program in Bioengineering and of the Bachelor’s Degree Program in Biomedical Engineering (in Italian: Presidente del CCS aggregato in Ingegneria Biomedica e Bioingegneria).

She has a Master degree in Electronics Engineering, University of Padova, Italy and a PhD in Bioengineering, Politecnico di Milano (Polytechnic University of Milan), Milan, Italy.

Her research interests are mainly related to the development of mathematical models for analysis and control of biological systems and to the quantification of functional positron emission tomography and magnetic resonance images. Current personal and collaborative research activities include: Connectomics (functional, structural, effective, and molecular connectomics), Multimodal Fusion in neuroimaging, Mathematical models for quantitative PET studies, Methods for magnetic resonance functional imaging)

Currently, she teaches “Imaging for Neuroscience” in the Msc in Bioengineering of the Department of Information Engineering, and “Statistical methods for Bioengineering” in the Msc in Bioengineering of the Department of Information Engineering.

She is member of the board of the Doctoral School on Neuroscience (Padova Neuroscience Center, University of Padova). Since November 2015, she is member of the IEEE-EMBC Technical Committee on Biomedical Imaging and Image Processing.
