Eleonora Tamilia

Eleonora Tamilia received her PhD and MS in Biomedical Engineering (from University Campus Bio-Medico and University Tor Vergata of Rome, respectively) and conducted her post-doctoral training at BCH/HMS (from 2015 to 2019). She is an expert in biomedical signal processing and data analysis with particular focus on neurological disorders.

Her research work has been recognized through numerous awards from national and international committees, which include young investigator awards from the American Epilepsy Society, the International Federation of Clinical Neurophysiology and the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. She is also the Director of the Epilepsy Monitoring Unit (EMU) Signal and Data Science Program in Neurology.

Her current research is dedicated to the advanced analysis of electroencephalography (EEG) and magnetoencephalography (MEG) from children with epilepsy to identify new electrophysiological epilepsy biomarkers, test their clinical value for surgical treatment and translate such technological advances to the clinical practice. She also conducts research for the development of new non-invasive methods that facilitates the early diagnosis of brain injury in neonates through the combined monitoring of brain and motor activity.
