About Me

Francesco Lanotte, Eng, PhD, is a Postdoctoral Fellow within the Max Näder Lab for Rehabilitation Technologies and Outcomes Research (Shirley Ryan AbilityLab) and Northwestern University. He is currently investigating the use of wearable sensors combined with machine learning techniques to enhance the rehabilitation therapy in stroke survivors. Dr. Lanotte received a bachelor of science degree in biomedical engineering from the Polytechnic University of Turin in 2015, a master of science degree in bionics engineering from the University of Pisa and Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna in 2017. He then received a doctor of philosophy degree in biorobotics from Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna in 2021. His PhD research was focused on the development, benchmark and experimental assessment of control algorithms for powered exoskeletons and lower-limb prostheses.
