Starfsferill

 

Paolo Gargiulo is a full professor at Reykjavik University with a distinguished academic background. He studied at TU Wien and completed his PhD in 2009. His primary research interests and expertise lie in medical image processing, neuroengineering, 3D printing, and medical technologies.

At Landspítali University Hospital, he established a 3D printing service that has supported surgical planning for over 300 operations, significantly impacting Iceland´s healthcare system and earning international recognition for his pioneering work in the field.

Paolo Gargiulo is the founder and director for the Institute of Biomedical and Neural Engineering, which encompasses advanced research facilities such as a high-density electroencephalographic system (256-EEG), Postural control platform and Virtual reality system and 3D printing and additive manufacturing center a postural control platform, a virtual reality system, and a center for 3D printing and additive manufacturing.

He has published over 100 scientific articles, books, and book chapters across diverse fields and has presented his work at numerous international conferences and workshops. He has also participated in several EU-funded research projects, including RESTORE, P4FIT and SINPAIN.

In 2023, Paolo received the prestigious Scientist of the Year Award at Reykjavik University and was granted an Excellence Award by the Icelandic Centre for Research to study postural control responses as biomarkers for neurodegenerative conditions.

He is also the co-founder of the startup company Heilalabs, which focuses on studying brain aging and developing predictive evaluation metrics for neurodegenerative diseases.

In 2024 Paolo lab have contributed in developing a new product for the Italian company Espansione Group called MeiboMetrics, which is a groundbreaking AI-powered algorithm for the segmentation and quantitative measurement of meibomian glands. Espansione Group and the Institute of Biomedical and Neural Engineeringhave combined their expertise in eye care and imaging technology, alongside novel capabilities in machine learning and artificial intelligence, to develop a state-of-the-art tool that promises to revolutionize the screening process for meibomian gland dysfunctions.
