Massimo Sartori is a Full Professor and head of the Neuromuscular Robotics Chair at the University of Twente in the Netherlands, where he also directs the Neubotics Lab. His research focuses on understanding how human movement emerges from the interplay between the nervous and the musculoskeletal systems. Prof. Sartori’s lab combines neural interfacing with musculoskeletal modelling, for the development of symbiotic robotic exoskeletons and bionic limbs that can restore movement following neuromuscular injuries. On these topics Massimo has contributed to the development of open-source software for musculoskeletal modelling including CEINMS, MyoSuite, MOtoNMS. Massimo has obtained several prestigious blue-sky research fundings from EU’s premiere funding agency, the European Research Council. He has created patented technology in the field of wearable sensors, exoskeletons, and bionic legs with leading companies such as OttoBock HealthCare. He currently chairs the IEEE RAS Technical Committee on BioRobotics. He is Associate Editor at the IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering. He is a member of scientific societies including: the European Society of Biomechanics, IEEE Robotics and Automation Society, IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, IEEE International Consortium on Rehabilitation Robotics. Prof. Sartori obtained his PhD in Information Engineering (2011) from the University of Padova (Italy) and was Visit
