JLENIA TOPPI

Jlenia Toppi received her Bachelor Degree in Clinical Engineering (summa cum laude) in 2006 and her Master Degree in Biomedical Engineering (summa con laude) in 2009, both from University of Rome “Sapienza”. In 2013, she received her PhD in Biomedical Engineering (with honors) from University of Bologna “Alma Mater Studiorum”. She is currently enrolled as assistant professor at the Department of Computer, Control and Management Engineering, Sapienza University of Rome. She held the courses of "Processing of Biomedical Signals and Data" (Clinical Engineering) and of "Modeling of Biological Systems" (Biomedical Engineering). In the framework of a bilateral agreement between her Department and Fondazione Santa Lucia, and Institute of Hospitalization and Scientific Care, she spend part of her research activity in the latter institution, specialized in Neurorehabilitation. Her research interests include the development and implementation of new approaches for biomedical signal processing, with a special focus on neuroelectrical data (Electroencephalography, EEG) with the aim to reconstruct the brain circuits at the basis of cognitive processes and social cognition. Her expertise is in the field of neuroelectrical imaging, connectivity estimation, hyperscanning, statistical assessment and graph theory. She participated in several national and international research projects, funded by the Italian Ministry of Education, Italian Ministry of Health, 7th Framework Program and H2020 Program of the European Commission. She serves as reviewer for several peer-review journals, she is the Associate Editor of Computation and Mathematical Methods in Medicine journal.
