Scholarship and Biography
Alberto Pierobon has been working on a wide ranging field of interests including mechanical and control system models for analyzing motor control strategies in perturbed force fields, machine learning based EEG analysis for brain-machine interfaces, modeling the mechanisms of balance, and many more. He has carried out experiments with human subjects in parabolic flight, in the lab's rotating room and dual-axis rotating device, on moving vehicles, and in other unusual environments.
Alberto received his master of science in mechanical engineering, summa cum laude, from the University of Padova (Italy). Graduating in April 2003, his thesis was on the elasto-plastic behavior of the human spinal servo, developed at the Graybiel Spatial Orientation Lab under the supervision of Professor Simone Bortolami.
