Simone Tassani
Simone Tassani is a lecturer, Tenure-track at Pompeu Fabra University (Barcelona). Dr. Tassani holds a Ph.D. in bioengineering (2009) from the University of Bologna, Italy. During his studies, Dr. Tassani focused on the biomechanics of bone tissue in osteoporotic and osteoarthritic subjects working at Istituto Ortopedico Rizzoli, Bologna, Italy. In 2010, Dr. Tassani was awarded a Marie Skłodowska-Curie fellowship and moved to the Institute of Communications and Computer Systems at the National Technical University of Athens, Greece, where he carried out his post-doc in data science, classification techniques, and image processing. During his post-doc, he spent a secondment at TUe, Eindhoven, The Netherlands, where he attended the Philosophy Certificate Program on bioethics. In 2014 he was awarded the Beatriz De Pinos -AGAUR Marie Sklodowska Curie Cofound fellowship and moved to the Institute of Bioengineering of Catalonia, Barcelona, Spain, to study the relation of breathing, posture, and management of stress. In 2016 he became a visiting professor at the Department of Information and Communication Technologies, Universitat Pompeu Fabra. Since 2023 he has been a lecturer, where he teaches bachelor's, master and Ph.D students. Since 2008, he has been an active member of the European Society of Biomechanics. He is also part of the Nonlinear Time Series Analysis Group, where he is exploring the nonlinear behavior of human movement.
